ALSO SHOWING
JUDY (12A) HHHH
JUDY GARLAND (Renée Zellweger) is embroiled in an acrimonious tug-ofwar with third husband Sidney Luft (Rufus Sewell) for care and custody of their children.
Crippled by debt and financial mismanagement, Judy reluctantly agrees to a five-week run of shows at The Talk Of The Town nightclub in London run by Bernard Delfont (Sir Michael Gambon).
Delfont assigns despairing assistant Rosalyn Wilder (Jessie Buckley) the unenviable task of shepherding Garland to the stage each night. Unfortunately, flighty fiancé Mickey Deans (Finn Wittrock) continually distracts Judy when she should be rehearsing.
Adapted from Peter Quilter’s award-winning stage play End of the Rainbow, Judy is elevated beyond the pages of Tom Edge’s script by the luminous, Oscar-winning Zellweger.

MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN (15)
FRANK MINNA (Bruce Willis) runs a detective agency in 1957 New York City, employing four young men he rescued from the horrors of an orphanage riddled with abuse.
Lionel Essrog (Edward Norton), who has Tourette’s and a photographic memory, is Frank’s prized protege.
During one investigation into the dealings of businessman William Lieberman (Josh Pais), Frank is shot dead and Lionel is determined to unmask his mentor’s killer.
Based on Jonathan Lethem’s landmark 1999 novel, Motherless Brooklyn is a slow-burning crime thriller and a passion project for writer, director and star Norton.
Admittedly, the film is overlong, but there are undeniable pleasures here, including Norton’s idiosyncratic lead performance.
