&SONS

Our film for next month is & Sons, showing on Thursday, 12th November. Doors 7pm for a 7.30pm start.

Well, I've watched a few films recently, and none have really stood out to me. Then I watched this, not expecting it to surprise me and not knowing anything about the film; it really drew me and and quite surprised me, I really liked this one, some great acting too, but then you wouldn't expect anything less from Bill Nighy and Imelda Staunton, I really like George Mackay as an actor too.

Bill Nighy takes the lead as Andrew Dyer, a celebrated but reclusive novelist who hasn't written a word, or left his house, in twenty years. Convinced his time is running out, he summons his estranged sons home in a bid to put things right. What follows is a moving and often darkly funny family drama about legacy, regret and the stories we tell ourselves.

The film is based on David Gilbert's acclaimed 2013 novel of the same name, adapted by director Pablo Trapero with Oscar-winning screenwriter Sarah Polley. Alongside Bill Nighy you'll see a superb cast including Imelda Staunton, George MacKay, Dominic West, Johnny Flynn and Noah Jupe.

One small piece of advice: if you can, go in knowing as little as possible. Try to resist the reviews and trailers! It's a film with lots of textured layers that unfold as it goes, and half the pleasure is letting it keep you hooked without any spoilers.

The running time is around two hours.

Looking forward to seeing you there, and to hearing what you all make of it afterwards.

Best wishes,
Helen
