PARENT AND BABY SHOW
These special screenings are for parents/carers who want to bring little cinephiles of 24 months or under.
All parties must have a baby under 24 months in their group to be allowed into the screening.
For these screenings we will turn the lights up higher and drop the sound down lower than normal shows.
Seating is assigned so you can choose where to sit, and under 24 month-olds do not require their own seat booking.
Children over 24 months are welcome to attend with any party that brings a baby, provided the show is age appropriate and they have an under-25 ticket purchased for them.
Prams can be left in the cinema foyer or upstairs atrium.
From acclaimed filmmaker Mike Leigh, comes Hard Truths. Starring BAFTA award-winner Marianne Jean-Baptiste (who previously starred in Leigh's acclaimed Secrets & Lies) and Michele Austin.
Housewife Pansy (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) is not happy. She is agoraphobic, a hypochondriac and paranoid about animals, birds, insects, plants, and flowers. She is confrontational with everyone, especially her plumber husband Curtley and her unemployed son Moses, whom she thinks is wasting his life. Her sister Chantelle (Michele Austin) runs a thriving hair salon. A single mum, she enjoys life, and lives harmoniously with her daughters Kayla, who works in cosmetics, and Aleisha, a trainee lawyer.
Leigh’s new film explores family relationships in the post-pandemic world. After over a decade spent making his two epic period films MR. TURNER and PETERLOO, Mike Leigh returns to his ongoing exploration of the contemporary world with this tragi-comic study of human strengths and weaknesses.
With a superb lead performance from Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and already garnering awards buzz with recent wins from BIFA (Best Lead Performance – Marianne Jean-Baptiste) and New York Film Critics Circle Awards (Best Actress – Marianne Jean-Baptiste), Hard Truths will be releasing in cinemas January 31st.
