FILM STARS DON’T DIE IN LIVERPOOL
Annette Bening stars in this heartfelt romantic drama as eccentric Academy Award-winning actress Gloria Grahame – once Hollywood’s sweetheart. The film is based on the memoirs of Peter Turner, a young Liverpudlian actor who had a passionate love affair with the screen siren, despite her being almost 30 years his senior. Billy
Elliot star Jamie Bell is utterly charming as Peter. A wonderful love story, beautifully told.
In cinemas Friday
UGLY DUCKLING
If you have little ones to entertain, this is a charming adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s magical fable. A gangly duckling who can’t even quack goes on a musical adventure to find a place where he can be accepted. Warm and touching kids’ theatre.
