Small Things Like These
Closely based on Claire Keegan’s novel, this moving film tells the story of Bill Furlong, a coalman in a small town in Ireland. He works hard for his family but seems preoccupied. He comes across a girl locked in a coalshed at the local convent and takes matters into his own hands. Brilliantly portrayed by Cillian Murphy, fresh from his Oppenheimer Oscars success, the film gives us another insight into the cruel world of the Magdalene laundries.
‘his small act of kindness veers close to martyrdom, it is all the more noble and precious for that’ Guardian

Juror #2
Probably Clint Eastwood’s last film, this tells the story of a man serving on the jury of a high-profile murder trial who realizes that he may be responsible for the victim’s death.Nicholas Hoult gives a subtly compelling performance as a man steadily realizing his entire future is in jeopardy if he comes forward and does the right thing.
‘a movie for grown-ups with its classy production values, strong performances from a starry cast, and thoughtful themes for viewers who want to be entertained but maybe think a little, too’ Roger Ebert

Conclave
Conclave is a 2024 Vatican thriller directed by Edward Berger, based on the 2016 novel by Robert Harris. The film stars Ralf Fiennes and Stanley Tucci.
Slated to do well at the Oscars, it tells the murky tale of a papal election, with cardinals behaving badly.
Berger, whose skill in setting tone and atmosphere was already apparent in his Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front
(2022), adapts Robert Harris’s novel in a way that’s so taut and controlled that it’s near-impossible not to be drawn in. Independent
