What's On at the Palace Cinema
Our next film suggestions are shown below:
The Incomer
Tuesday 29 September at 4.00 pm
Director: Louis Paxton
Cast includes: Domhnall Gleeson, Gayle Rankin, Grant O'Rourke, Michelle Gomez and John Hannah
1 hour and 42 minutes
Described as "a warm and witty comedy of oddballs refusing to leave their harsh isolated life on a remote Scottish island"
Apparently, it is one for fans of "The Banshees of Inisherin". That film sounded so sad I refused to go and see it. Several members of the group thoroughly enjoyed it though.
Pressure
Tuesday 6 October at 4.00 pm
This has been strongly recommended to me and it is described as "a tense historical thriller about weather, warfare and the burden of responsibility". Set in the 72 hours in the lead up to D-Day.
However, it is really not my sort of film But please do report back if you see the film.
Sense and Sensibility
Friday 16 October at 4.00 pm
Director: Georgia Oakley
Starring: Daisy Edgar-Jones (from Normal People and When the Crawdads Sing) and Esme Creed-Miles
2 hours 11 minutes
I can't wait!!
I'm sure you all know the story so no further waffle from me. This is the first screening at the Palace so probably best to book.
The Weight
I'm never afraid of using a cliche so 'now for something completely different.'
Friday 23rd October at 4.30 pm
Director: Padraic McKinley
Starring: Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe
1 hour 53 minutes
It's an adventure with a corrupt prison governor, stolen gold, a dangerous crew of prisoners and an estranged child. Set in the treacherous Appalachian forests.
Digger
Tuesday 3 November at 4.00 pm
Director: Alejandro G Inarritu
Starring: Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed and John Goodman
2 hours 9 minutes
Tom Cruise tries to prove he is humanity's saviour but it all goes very wrong.
