We are looking forward to some very strong performances in the new year in the run up to awards season.
The Heart Of The Sea stars Chris Hemsworth in the story that inspired Moby Dick. It looks set to be a breathtaking adventure filled with sea, survival, and a massive whale! The Danish Girl serves as another showcase for Eddie Redmayne’s talent and poignantly explores thought-provoking themes in this beautifully filmed biopic drama. Jennifer Lawrence returns to the big screen to weave her acting magic in Joy, giving an impeccable portrayal of the real-life character Joy Mangano, the entrepreneurial woman behind the Miracle Mop. Plus, we enjoy intense performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy in Revenant. DiCaprio plays Frontiersman Hugh Glass who is set on vengeance after being left for dead in the wintry American Frontier in the 1800s.
Room, a favourite amongst book clubs, transfers to the big screen. Both highly suspenseful and deeply emotional it is a unique and touching exploration of the boundless love between a mother and her child. We also enjoy a cinema remake of Dad’s Army, the classic sitcom that many of us grew up with.
