Tackling thorny themes with fierce intelligence and a wonderful performance by Lexi Venter, Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight is a striking feature debut from writer-director Embeth Davidtz.

Based on Alexandra Fuller’s memoir of the same name, this fascinating Directorial debut from Davidtz (who you may recognise as Miss Honey in the 1996 film Matilda) captures the childhood of 8-year-old Bobo on her family farm in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) at the end of the Zimbabwean War for independence in 1980. Growing up in the midst of this long-running war, Bobo internalises both sides of the struggle. Conflicted by her love for people on opposing sides, she tries to make sense of her life in a magical way. Through her eight-year-old gaze, we witness Rhodesia’s final days, the family’s unbreakable bond with Africa, and the deep scars that war leaves on survivors.

Ethan Hawke returns as deliciously creepy serial killer “The Grabber”, back with a vengeance after being bested by one of his kidnappees.

Whilst its predecessor adapted an eponymous short story by Joe Hill (son of Stephen King), Black Phone 2 is based on an original idea from the acclaimed author, inspired by the now-iconic imagery of the devilish masks worn by The Grabber.

After narrowly escaping the killer’s clutches with the help of his psychic sister, Finney (Mason Thames – How To Train Your Dragon) soon discovers that “dead is just a word”. To stop The Grabber once more, Finney must defeat him both in reality – and in his dreams. Listen carefully. The phone is ringing again.

Tim Key and Tom Basden write and lead a small, warm-hearted comedy about a tired musician brought to life by his millionaire fan.

Herb McGwyer is a folk singer far from his ex-bandmate, partner, and glory days, and obliged to play a concert just for Charles, a double lottery winner, on a remote private island. Awkwardness mounts when said partner is invited, just as a storm traps them all there – but Charles’s adoration, their beautiful surroundings, and an old spark might inspire one of Herb’s best performances yet. Based on their award-winning short, Key, Basden, and director James Griffiths tell a stirring story of renewal, backed by a lovely soundtrack and beautiful Welsh settings. They also balance first-rate English sitcom humour with surprising emotional depth, enhanced by Carey Mulligan’s performance as the ex.

Jeremy Allen White gives The Boss a biopic treatment, capturing the struggles that led to his 1982 masterwork Nebraska (and “Born in the U.S.A.”).

Returning to New Jersey from an international smash-hit tour, a 32-year-old Bruce Springsteen is poised to become a rock icon – only to sidestep the band and hole up in his bedroom for the next album. Scouring literature, history, and his own troubled background, he starts to create a raw, brilliant new sound, but getting it to shelves and keeping his head clear proves harder. Like A Complete Unknown, writer-director Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart, The Pale Blue Eye) avoids the subject’s full legend: focusing on a short period where, amid crumbling relationships and constant doubt, he created some of his richest work. White fully convinces in the man’s rougher, and quieter, moments.

Turbo-charged by stunning visuals and a slick score by Nine Inch Nails, Jared Leto stars as a superintelligent AI soldier in this long-awaited sequel to TRON: Legacy.

Fifteen years after Legacy, (which was itself a long-awaited sequel to 1982’s TRON), the franchise departs the digital realm, introducing real-world stakes without omitting the visual flair which made both its predecessors cult classics. Jared Leto stars as Ares, a program dispatched into the real world in humanity’s first encounter with artificial intelligence.

Jeff Bridges returns to the franchise as Kevin Flynn, alongside new stars Greta Lee and Evan Peters. With sleek aesthetics, high-speed action and a thumping industrial score courtesy of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (The Social Network, Challengers), the film demands to be seen on a big screen with top-notch speakers. Where could be better than The Odyssey?

Fronted by powerhouse duo Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford. They play Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, the two Washington Post journalists at the forefront of the legendary Watergate Scandal.

Opening in 1972, as policemen arrest five burglars at the Watergate building, Democrat HQ. Believing it to be a minor news item, the Washington Post assigns newbie Woodward (Redford) to cover the story. But when the journalist discovers that the burglars were carrying electronic bugging equipment, and each has ties to the CIA, the situation is turned on its head. Woodward is assigned Bernstein (Hoffman) as his partner. The two, reluctant to work together at first, soon discover a chemistry which bounces well off each other.

Remarkably intelligent, working both as an effective thriller, and as a virtually abstract charting of the dark corridors of corruption and power.

Don’t miss a rare chance to see this masterpiece of complex tension on the big screen.

Luca Guadagnino continues his winning streak with a tense, quick-witted drama on university cancel culture, with a luminous Julia Roberts performance at its centre.

Alma Imhoff is a star Yale professor verging on tenure, buoyed by her adoring top student Maggie and colleague/close friend Hank. When the two go home together one night, Maggie comes to Alma soon after with a serious accusation – which drops her into the middle of an excruciating, campus-wide battle of wills. Coming just off the awards success of Queer, Guadagnino tempers his lush creative vision for Nora Garrett’s screenplay, making a sharp, uncomfortably clear-eyed, and riveting character piece on an all-too-relevant issue. Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri give nuance and distinctness to their attacker/victim roles, but Roberts drives the film like never before, as the brilliant academic caught between loyalties.

Paul Thomas Anderson and Leonardo DiCaprio spearhead a raw, timely, and masterfully made thriller, about an ex-radical fighting to save his family.

On the fringes of a small Californian town, Bob Ferguson struggles to stay upright for his teenaged daughter Willa, and the hole left by her mother and his failed revolutionary comrades. When she disappears as a wealthy white-supremacist army threatens their home, Bob must rebuild his team, reckon with the past, and prepare for battle, as what really matters becomes clear.

Working with a much larger-than-usual budget (reportedly $130-175 million) from bits of cult Pynchon novel Vineland, Anderson applies his usual cinematic mastery to new ground. Inventive action set-pieces punctuate a funny, tragic and very relevant story of a literal culture war, and one man (a fearless and moving DiCaprio) trying to survive it.

Based on the bestselling book by Colleen Hoover (It Ends With Us), Regretting You introduces audiences to Morgan Grant (Allison Williams) and her 16-year-old daughter, Clara (Mckenna Grace), who would like nothing more than to be nothing alike.

Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn’t want to follow in her mother’s footsteps.

With warring personalities and conflicting goals, Morgan and Clara find it increasingly difficult to coexist. The only person who can bring peace to the household is Chris (Scott Eastwood) — Morgan’s husband, Clara’s father, and the family anchor. But that peace is shattered when Chris is involved in a tragic and questionable accident. The heartbreaking and long-lasting consequences will reach far beyond just Morgan and Clara.

Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos reteam for another mind-bending black comedy hit, this time about a kidnapped CEO suspected of being an alien.

Struggling with a diminishing environment, beekeeper Teddy decides to kidnap the head of a pharmaceutical company that poisoned his mother. Believing she is part of a higher force bent on destroying Earth, he will sink to any level to stop her – but the outside world and his own deep-rooted demons do not help his chances. Adapting the 2003 South Korean cult film Save the Green Planet!, Lanthimos applies his cold, brilliant eye for human irregularities to a small, uncomfortable, but relentlessly gripping story. With all-too-convincing performances from Stone and Plemons and an astonishing finale, it was nominated for the Golden Lion at Venice this year. Mysteriously, it was shot in High Wycombe.

The cinematic return of the global phenomenon follows the Crawleys and their staff as they enter the 1930s.

With the Great Depression in full swing, and World War II a storm cloud on the horizon, it’s a time of seismic socio-economic upheaval – making the gilded existence of the landed gentry suddenly feel very precarious indeed.

The whole bloodline is back – from upper-crust icons like Hugh Bonneville’s 7th Earl Of Grantham and his bothersome daughters Mary (Michelle Dockery) and Edith (Laura Carmichael), to below-stairs favourites including gentleman’s gentleman Mr Carson (Jim Carter) and his housekeeper wife, Mrs Hughes (Phyllis Logan). The renowned halls of Downton are graced with fresh new characters like Noel Coward and his iconic wit, the return of Harold (Paul Giamatti), and Allesandro Nivola as Sambrook, Harold’s mysterious financial advisor with his dubious charm.

As the beloved cast of characters navigates how to lead Downton Abbey into the future, they must embrace change and welcome a new chapter.

Art and reality merge in this fantastical tale from iconic British director duo Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.

After producing several acclaimed films both commissioned by and in conflict with the British War Office, Powell + Pressburger (also known as ‘The Archers’) sought to make more escapist and experimental films. The Red Shoes is the grand, dramatic culmination of a distinct expressionist style developed through A Matter of Life and Death and Black Narcissus, that abandoned realism for true artistic expression.

The film features a metafictional narrative, in which the Boris Lermontov (played to perfection by Alton Walbrook) stages a ballet adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s eponymous fairytale, only for the story to interject the events of the film itself. Aspiring ballerina Victoria (Moira Shearer) soon finds herself undone by the perilous pursuit of artistic perfection, as Lermontov’s unwieldy demands take a toll on her life off-stage. With its avant-garde techniques and stunning cinematography, The Red Shoes profoundly influenced many great filmmakers, including George A. Romero and Martin Scorsese, and has cemented itself as an all-time British classic.

In 20th-century colonial Kenya, a Danish baroness/plantation owner has a passionate love affair with a free-spirited big-game hunter.

The most acclaimed motion picture of 1985 stars Robert Redford and Meryl Streep in one of the screen’s great epic romances. Directed by Oscar winner Sydney Pollack, Out of Africa is the fascinating true story of Karen Blixen, a strong-willed woman who, with her philandering husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer), runs a coffee plantation in Kenya, circa 1914. To her astonishment, she soon discovers herself falling in love with the land, its people and a mysterious hunter (Robert Redford).

Redford is romantic, mysterious, uncageable; and he potently complements Meryl Streep's Blixen. Rarely seen on the big screen - don’t miss it!

Robert Redford 1936 - 2025

Forty-one years after the release of the groundbreaking mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, the now estranged bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls (Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer) are forced to reunite for one final concert.

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues also marks the resurrection of documentarian Marty Di Bergi (Rob Reiner), who once again tries to capture his favourite metal gods as they contemplate mortality – and the hope that their 12th drummer doesn't join them in The Great Beyond. Joined by music royalty Paul McCartney and Elton John, Spinal Tap wrestles with their checkered past to put on a concert that they hope will solidify their place in the pantheon of rock 'n' roll.

Brenda Blethyn and Andrea Riseborough, (along with a big white dog), are superb as two neighbours thrown together by their neglected circumstances.

Have we become a nation of strangers? In Dragonfly, neglected pensioner Elsie (Blethyn) finds an unexpected ally in her younger neighbour Colleen (Riseborough). Over time, Elsie gains a friend and the troubled Colleen finds a fresh purpose in life as she shops, cleans and cares for her. It brings brighter days for both of them. Elsie’s son John (Jason Watkins) resents the way that Colleen has selflessly fulfilled the responsibilities that he has shirked.

Simmering tensions bring shocking consequences in a gripping human story straight from the heart of broken Britain. A powerful return to the cinema from London to Brighton, director Paul Andrew Williams that showcases heartrending, award-winning performances from Brenda Blethyn and Andrea Riseborough.

Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, Wilding tells the incredible story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate.

They set to work with their groundbreaking vision, battling entrenched tradition and major forces along the way, daring to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe and beyond. This astonishingly moving film is a balm for worrying times.

Featuring a pre-recorded Q&A after the screening with Craig Bennett, Cheif Executive of the Wildlife Trust and Isabella Tree, author of Wilding.

In 1970, James Mooney (Josh O’Connor) walks into a gallery with two accomplices, and steals four paintings in broad daylight. But while they pull off the initial heist, holding onto their plunder proves a greater challenge.

Acclaimed Kelly Reichardt (Certain Women, First Cow) wrote and directed this atmospheric art heist film. It’s a notable departure from her previous works, known for their minimalist style and understated narratives. The film also marks a significant career milestone for O’Connor, whose performance has stirred awards season buzz alongside his performances in highly anticipated 2025 releases The History of Sound and Wake Up Dead Man.

The film poignantly evokes 1970s suburban Massachusetts, as O’Connor’s down-on-his-luck father of two seeks to fashion himself into a criminal genius, whilst keeping his domestic life from falling apart at the seams. Whilst a period piece, The Mastermind “connects to something larger about an America losing its way” (ScreenDaily).

Ralph Fiennes brings depth and pathos to a new Alan Bennett tale, of a WWI-era community brought to life through song.

In 1915, a village in rural Yorkshire stages Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius for its embattled townspeople, hiring the Germany-trained outsider Dr. Guthrie to lead the choir. He is faced with divided, suspicious, and often-bereft locals while continuing to feel wounds of his own – but with the music, they can develop something that transcends it all. With his trusted director Nicholas Hytner (The Madness of King George, The Lady in the Van), Bennett tells a comfortable but unsentimental story, where both war’s damage and the power of art to lift people above it fully convince. Once again, Fiennes gives subtle power to the lead role, with outstanding backing from Roger Allam, Mark Addy, et al.

Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk) is joined by Emmy and BAFTA-winner Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Responder) in the critically acclaimed and subversively funny new play by David Ireland.

After years in the 12-step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous, James becomes a sponsor to newcomer Luka. The pair bond over black coffee, trade stories and build a fragile friendship out of

their shared experiences. But as Luka approaches step five – the moment of confession – dangerous truths emerge, threatening the trust on which both of their recoveries depend.

Finn den Hertog directs the provocative and entertaining production filmed live from @sohoplace on London’s West End.

Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson excel in Lynne Ramsay’s bold and brave film about a woman experiencing postpartum psychosis.

Grace and Jackson should be living in bliss, with a new baby and a fixer-upper home in the country. But Grace’s psyche has changed following the birth, unleashing in her a restlessness that drives her to the brink of madness. Raw and uncompromising, but also darkly comic, Die My Love is brought to the screen from a screenplay by Enda Walsh & Lynne Ramsay and Alice Birch.

The film premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and has been hotly anticipated ever since. Don’t miss your chance to catch Jennifer’s blistering performance on the big screen.

Love. Madness. Madness. Love.

Osgood Perkins’ anticipated follow-up to Longlegs and The Monkey has arrived.

The 51-year-old Perkins, son of Psycho actor Anthony Perkins, has essentially created these three films back-to-back. While Perkins penned both Longlegs and The Monkey, Keeper was written by Canadian screenwriter and artist Nick Lepard.

Shot outside Vancouver, this single-location horror features Tatiana Maslany (She Hulk) as Liz and Rossif Sutherland (son of Donald, brother to Kiefer) as Malcolm, a married couple who escape for a romantic anniversary weekend at a secluded cabin. When Malcolm suddenly returns to the city, Liz finds herself isolated and in the presence of an unspeakable evil that reveals the cabin’s horrifying secrets. This is effectively “Marriage Story” meets “Evil Dead”. Fans of Perkins’ previous projects will not want to miss Keeper, and if you do, well.. “I don’t like you anymore”.

Before the Nuremberg trials, a psychiatrist evaluates Nazi leaders to determine whether they are fit to stand trial.

There have been many films about the infamous trials (not least Stanley Kramer’s Judgement at Nuremberg), which examined the countless crimes against humanity conducted by the Nazis. James Vanderbilt’s film approaches the subject from a psychoanalytical perspective. Is evil innate, or merely instructed?

As Douglas Kelley (portrayed with reliable precision by Rami Malek) interviews Hitler’s right hand man, Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe), they engage in a battle of wits. Increasingly obsessed with understanding how any human could knowingly participate in the Nazis’ atrocities, the psychiatrist and former Luftwaffe commander develop a disturbing bond.

He’s done zombies, ghosts, cops and getaway drivers. Now, Edgar Wright reinvents a Schwarzenegger classic with dynamic action, a quippy script, and beloved leading man Glen Powell in a thrilling fight for his life!

Edgar Wright first noted an ambition to adapt Stephen King’s 1982 dystopian novel on Twitter in 2017.

Eight years later, the film has finally arrived, with a star-studded cast and a frenetic style befitting of the source material. Look out for a quick Arnie cameo as the face of the film’s $100 bill!

Welcome to the Overlook Hotel, a grand resort nestled in the picturesque Rocky Mountains. Have a pleasant stay, but remember – all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…

Stanley Kubrick’s genre-defining psychological horror observes Jack Torrance’s (Jack Nicholson) gradual descent into violent madness. Taking care of the Overlook during its winter season with his wife and young son, whilst they are utterly alone in the hotel, it soon becomes clear that other forces may reside in the walls and beneath the floorboards. Shot nearby at Elstree Studios, whilst the film adapts Stephen King’s eponymous novel, its vision is unique and distinctly Kubrick.

We are thrilled to be screening this renowned, snow-coated classic as part of The Odyssey Film Club. Make sure you stick around after the film for the discussion, where we will be accompanied by some very special guests involved in The Shining’s production!
