Nov 19: THE MIRACLE CLUB

Ballygar, Ireland, 1967. A hard-knocks community in outer Dublin marches to its own beat, rooted in traditions of loyalty, faith and togetherness. There’s just one tantalising dream for the women of Ballygar: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes. Close friends Lily, Eileen, Dolly and Sheila are the ‘lucky’ few to win this ticket of a lifetime at their riotous local raffle night.
Directed by Thaddeus O’Sullivan, this Irish comedy drama stars Maggie Smith (The Lady in the Van), Kathy Bates (Boychoir) and Laura Linney (Sully).

Nov 18: BARBIE
In one of the more curious mixes of talents and source material, this is the live action feature of Mattel’s Barbie. It’s directed by Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird), co-written by Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story), stars Margot Robbie as big B and Ryan Gosling as Ken. Will Ferrell, who plays a Mattel CEO, has called the film “the ultimate example of high art and low art… an amazing comment on male patriarchy and women in society”.

BARBIE
To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you’re a Ken.
Eccentric and individualistic, Barbie is exiled from Barbieland because of her imperfections. When her home world is in peril, Barbie returns…
From Oscar-nominated writer/director Greta Gerwig (“Little Women,” “Lady Bird”) comes “Barbie,” starring Oscar-nominees Margot Robbie (“Bombshell,” “I, Tonya”) and Ryan Gosling (“La La Land”) as Barbie and Ken, alongside America Ferrera (“End of Watch”) and Kate McKinnon (“Bombshell,” “Yesterday”).

Nov 4: UPROAR
Follow your heart. Find your voice.
World Premiere was 8th September 2023 in the Special Presentation segment of Toronto International Film Festival.
There have been several strong reviews.
NZ Herald gave 4/5 Stars and said, “Leaning more on the drama part of its dramedy description, Uproar is a solid and enjoyable film that isn’t afraid to tackle big issues. It would have been easy to fumble these hot-button topics, especially as it picks up and runs with a number of them. Fortunately, it deftly sidesteps around the traps and skillfully gets the ball over the line.
It’s a uniquely Kiwi film that also speaks to wider global and societal issues in a distinctly personal way. Uproar is a movie that deserves to be shouted about.”

UPROAR is a moving and heartwarming story about connection and finding your place in the world. It is the story of 17-year-old Josh Waaka (played by Julian Dennison). Set in Dunedin in 1981, a rugby-obsessed country is divided over the arrival of the South African Springboks team, sparking nationwide protests. Under pressure from home and school to conform, Josh, who has never felt like he fits in anywhere, is inspired by the protests and by a newfound passion for performing to find his own voice. A sequence of events sees Josh embrace his community and his whakapapa Māori, taking him and his whānau on a journey towards healing.
