The Housemaid (2025)

Cert: 15, 131 mins.
Director: Paul Feig

Consistently voted one of the best thrillers of the last year,
The Housemaid will leave you guessing until the very end.

Watch the Trailer:

Synopsis

“The Housemaid” is a wildly entertaining thriller starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, based on a  best-selling 2022 novel by Freida McFadden  (selling 3.5 million copies worldwide).  The film plunges audiences into a twisted world where perfection is an illusion, and nothing is as it seems.

Trying to escape her past, Millie accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina and Andrew Winchester.  But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous — a seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power.  Behind the Winchesters’ closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end!

Verdict

Audience Score = 92

Les Liaisons Dangereuses

Watch the Trailer:

Synopsis

Olivier and Tony Award winner Lesley Manville  joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin.

Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival.  Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire.  But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.

Lesley Manville alone is worth the price of admission.

The Misanthrope

Watch the Trailer:

Trailer available shortly.

Synopsis

Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy.

Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.

Sandra Oh shines in a witty update of Molière’s Misanthrope.

– Sunday Times

Sandra Oh brings heart, fire, vulnerability and comic timing.

H is for Hawk (2026)

Cert: 12A, 115 mins.
Director: Philippa Lowthorpe

“Claire Foy and Brendan Gleeson (plus a real hawk) are magical in this tender drama”

Watch the Trailer:

Synopsis

H is for Hawk follows Helen (Claire Foy), who, after the sudden death of her father (Brendan Gleeson), loses herself in the memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together.  She turns to the ancient art of falconry, training a wild goshawk she names Mabel to navigate her profound loss.

Verdict

Claire Foy is remarkable in this tender tale of grief.

Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day (2026)

Cert: 12A 95 mins.
Director: Tina Gharavi

A dramatisation of Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel.

Watch the Trailer:

Synopsis

Night & Day is an un-romantic comedy about a passionate astronomer, Katharine Hilbery, who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage.  Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases an ensemble of humouros performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy. Virginia’s story is as relevant to today as it ever was: women balancing romantic love with careers!

The film’s star cast includes: Lilly Allen, Jack Whitehall, Timophy Spall, and Sally Phillips.

Verdict

Jack Whitehall’s best buffoon yet.

– The Times

A delightful night at the cinema with Virginia Woolf – and Lily Allen
