That’s a hell of a beard, George

Film / Netflix, 23 Dec

George Clooney directs and stars in Netflix’s marquee Christmas release, a grand sci-fi drama in the vein of Interstellar, Sunshine and Gravity. Clooney plays an Arctic-based researcher who, following a mysterious disaster, must warn the inhabitants of a space station not to return to Earth. Expect big emotions, big themes and even bigger beards. With a cast including Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo and Kyle Chandler, this is Clooney’s first movie as a director in three years – and part of a major Oscar push by Netflix.
