Oscar nominees Bill Nighy (Living, About Time) and Imelda Staunton (The Crown, Vera Drake) lead a stellar cast – including Johnny Flynn (Emma) and George MacKay (Rose of Nevada) – in Pablo Trapero’s spellbinding, Lear-like drama, scripted by Oscar-winner Sarah Polley (Take This Waltz, Away From Her). 

Certain he is about to die, a world-renowned novelist (Nighy) summons his estranged sons home. But instead of seeking forgiveness for past mistakes, he reveals an unbelievable secret that brings his ex-wife (Staunton) back into his orbit. As decades of resentment, jealousy and rage threaten to spill over, this splintered family is forced to face an inevitable reckoning, for better or for worse.

WATCHWORD - a discreet closed-captioning system, ensuring that only those wearing supplied smart glasses can see the captions. These glasses can be worn over prescription glasses and around cochlear implants. Users can alter the size, colour, brightness, position and focus to their personal preference. Watchword is available on any screening of this title except the open captioned screening (as the captions will appear on the screen itself).

HARD OF HEARING - using our wireless headphones, the film soundtrack is broadcast direct to the user who can control the volume of each ear independently. This is also perfect for anyone sensitive to loud noises.
