Simultaneously, she forms a connection with her children's teacher, Mr. Wallaker (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Her close-knit friends – Shazzer (Sally Phillips), Jude (Shirley Henderson), and Tom (James Callis) – provide their usual mix of support and humour. The unexpected return of her former lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant), adds further complexity to her journey. With its signature blend of romance, comedy, and heart, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is set to charm audiences.

Based on the Academy Award® nominated film, Billy Elliot the Musical has won the hearts of millions since it opened in London’s West End in 2005. 

Set in a northern mining town, against the background of the 1984/85 miners’ strike, Billy’s journey takes him out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and whole community and changes his life forever. The original creative team behind the film, including writer Lee Hall (book & lyrics), director Stephen Daldry, and choreographer, Peter Darling, is joined by music legend Elton John (music) to produce a funny, uplifting and spectacular theatrical experience that will stay with you forever.

Angelina Jolie gives her most tremendous performance yet in a richly operatic, and cinematic, take on the life of Maria Callas.

In 1970s Paris, a documentary filmmaker seeks out the great soprano, now choked by age, illness, and public attention into retirement. Even so, she jumps at the chance to survey her titanic life – from Nazi-oppressed beginnings to unparalleled success to torrid affairs – and reclaim it with her own voice just before the end. Following similarly brilliant studies of treasured yet trapped 20th-century female icons – the director of Jackie and Spencer – Pablo Larraín and writer Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) deliver an even grander and more sumptuous work, without missing the brilliant, vulnerable individual at its centre. Jolie shines in the role, giving both an amazing star turn and an intelligent, rigorously trained take on the great performer.

Timothée Chalamet brings the young Bob Dylan to life in a nuanced, note-perfect biopic from the director of Walk the Line.

In 1961, a rootless 19-year-old songwriter arrives in New York to play for the ailing Woody Guthrie, and slowly becomes a giant in the city’s folk music scene. Fame, success, and love blossom after him as his music develops – but unease with familiar sounds and attention soon turn him into a more brilliant, and isolated, artist. Decades after his great take on Johnny Cash, co-writer and director James Mangold (Logan) reanimates the songs, streets and mercurial lives behind Greenwich Village’s sound, with faultless historical detail and a brilliant cast. Chalamet, however, dominates in his most committed turn yet, personally nailing Dylan’s look, sound, performances, and semi-divine distance from the world and people around him.

Bringing to life the extraordinary true story of Robbie Williams, the legendary British pop superstar whose electrifying rise, dramatic fall, and jaw-dropping comeback have made him one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Directed by visionary filmmaker Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman), this groundbreaking film is told through Robbie’s own eyes, infused with his razor-sharp wit and unstoppable spirit. From his humble beginnings to joining the chart-topping boyband Take That as its youngest member, to shattering records as a solo artist, Better Man takes you on an exhilarating journey through the highs, lows, and ultimate triumphs of a global icon grappling with the immense pressures of stardom.

Ralph Fiennes lends gravitas to the new Robert Harris adaptation: an operatic, thoughtful thriller on the race for the papacy.

Cardinal Thomas Lawrence wishes to leave the murky machinations of the Vatican, but is asked by the Pope to stay on, just before his death puts Lawrence in charge of choosing a replacement. Among candidates greatly differing in ideology and character, he must guide the electorate to a peaceful solution – but few will budge easily and every one has secrets.

Director Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front) and writer Peter Straughan (Wolf Hall) adapt a standout entry in Harris’s halls-of-power political dramas, matching its gripping, intricate melodrama with cinematic flair and detail. Among spectacular supporting turns from Stanley Tucci, Isabella Rossellini and John Lithgow, Fiennes provides a welcome centre of nuance, thoughtfulness, and much-tried faith.

Dive into the untold story of one of Disney’s most iconic leaders in Mufasa: The Lion King.

Directed by Barry Jenkins, this visually stunning prequel brings to life the trials and triumphs that shaped Mufasa’s journey from a vulnerable cub to the noble king of Pride Rock.

Set against the breathtaking landscapes of the African savannah, the film offers a richly layered narrative that delves deep into Mufasa’s past. The voice cast, led by Aaron Pierre as young Mufasa, delivers performances brimming with heart and gravitas, supported by an evocative score that echoes the grandeur of Hans Zimmer’s original compositions.

Perfectly blending nostalgia with fresh perspectives, this prequel is a majestic addition to Disney’s legacy. Don’t miss it on the big screen!

Six years after his Best Picture-winning Parasite, Bong Joon-ho returns with a blockbuster unlike any other.

Dissatisfied with life on Earth, Mickey Barnes decides to become an ‘expendable’. He’s put to work performing highly dangerous tasks on a distant human colony, and cloned every time he dies (17 so far). He soon begins to question his identity and the underlying ethics of a civilisation so willing to cut and paste its own subjects.

Mickey 17 isn’t Joon-ho’s first foray in science fiction, following 2013’s excellent Snowpiercer. Yet, like Mickey himself, the film defies any singular identity, hopping genres from one scene to the next by melding elements of black comedy, searing human drama and sharp political satire. Featuring a star-studded cast including an ever-reliable Robert Pattinson, and all the incisive writing and cinematography of Parasite, it’s one of the year’s few big-budget films based on an original idea.

They are one of a kind, and just for you – they are divorced, beheaded and live at the Odyssey Cinema!

Recorded at the Vaudeville Theatre, this special event reunites the original cast for an unforgettable celebration of history, music, and female empowerment – so grab your crowns and join the queendom.

From France, a small-scale, warm-hearted comedy of nuns entering a bike race in the Jura mountains.

In a small countryside village, the sisters of a dysfunctional convent find that their local hospice is falling to pieces and dangerously short of funds – and that only the cash prize for a 30km cycling race can provide them.

Against total inexperience, infirmity, and a fearsome rival convent, they throw themselves into training for it with every intention to win – trusting that, with God and each other, anything is possible. The last film of the late writer-director Laurent Tirard (Petit Nicolas, The Speech), he avoids biting satire or surreal farce for a grounded, gentle, and well-acted story of people coming together against the odds (and many, many falls), making for a delightful little film that doesn’t outstay it’s welcome.

The heartwarming adventures of the beloved bear Paddington continues - so follow the marmalade footprints to the Odyssey, for the year’s hairiest threequel!

Featuring Ben Whishaw, Hugh Bonneville, Olivia Colman and Antonio Banderas, the film beautifully captures the culture, landscapes, and the spirit of adventure, Paddington style.

In the enchanting village of Sylvania, nestled in an enchanting forest, the annual Star Festival brings joy and anticipation to all its animal inhabitants.

At the heart of the story is Freya, a sweet and determined Chocolate Rabbit girl, who faces a delightful double challenge.

With the help of her adorable friends, Freya embarks on a heartwarming journey filled with creativity, friendship, and unexpected surprises. Through her efforts to make everyone happy, Freya discovers the true magic of giving and the joy of togetherness, culminating in a touching celebration that lights up the Sylvanian night. Sylvanian Families: The Movie is a gentle, family-friendly tale of love, community, and the simple pleasures of life, perfect for audiences of all ages.

Twelve years after announcing his supposed retirement from film (and only a few months after his last film, Presence, released), Steven Soderbergh is still pushing the boundaries of the medium.

With one of the most eclectic filmographies of any major modern director (including Ocean’s Eleven, Solaris and Magic Mike), Soderbergh has no definitive genre, tone or style. Yet, despite being so prolific, he always manages to tell stories that are both emotionally engaging and deeply entertaining.

His latest film, Black Bag, is no different. A sleek, sexy spy thriller in which two married British intelligence agents (Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender) are forced to investigate one another, the film is a remarkable work of ever-rising tension and nail-biting action. Following a hiatus from acting to pursue driving in the European Le Mans Series, Fassbender’s performance is as assured and meticulous as ever.

The Wild Robot is a captivating and emotional film that skillfully combines adventure, heart, and thoughtful commentary on technology's relationship with nature.

Following the robot Rozzum 7134 (“Roz” for short), this tale of survival and discovery begins when she becomes the unexpected protector to an orphaned gosling,

The story’s simple yet powerful themes resonate with audiences of all ages, making it not only a children's movie but also a profound reflection on identity and connection.

Through Roz’s journey, the film delivers a message of compassion, coexistence, and the transformative power of love and understanding. This film will linger with you long after the credits roll.

Following major success at the Golden Globes, Brady Corbet’s immense, sinister epic on a Jewish émigré architect and American wealth arrives at the Odyssey.

Having escaped the Holocaust without his wife and niece, László Tóth starts again in Philadelphia, rising from obscurity when a major industrialist notices his brilliant design skills. Entrusted with building a monolithic complex in his family’s honour, he becomes more renowned than ever – but increasing distance from his home and family, and his monstrously entitled patron, bring him much higher costs. Directing and co-writing with Mona Fastvold, Corbet (The Childhood of a Leader) tells a classic, extraordinarily rich story of art and life suffocated by capitalism, combining cinematic craft (there’s even an intermission) with novelistic detail and feeling. Adrien Brody, refining his great work in The Pianist, triumphs as the lead.

He offers her a life of wealth and glamour, but their whirlwind marriage faces trouble when Vanya’s parents fly to New York to intervene. Both wildly entertaining and heartbreaking, Anora takes audiences on a thrilling, unpredictable adventure, drawing comparisons to Pretty Woman. The film plays with genre and audience expectations, but Baker’s deep empathy for his characters stands out. As in all of Baker’s films, he refuses to judge them, making Anora a bold and compassionate exploration of flawed lives in extraordinary circumstances.

A decorated celebration of Latvian culture and a testament to survival even in the worst circumstances, Flow finally arrives at The Odyssey!

Having won Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards, Flow is the first Latvian film to win an Oscar (now displayed at the Latvian National Museum of Art). Yet, its resonance is universal. Featuring no dialogue, the film follows a cat trying to survive a post-apocalyptic world devastated by flooding. A testament to the importance and potential of independent filmmaking, its production lasted five-and-a-half years, and was animated entirely using the free, open-source software Blender.

Filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis directed, wrote, produced and edited the film on a budget of €3.5 million, whilst the average Hollywood animated film can cost anywhere between $50-$250million. The film is important not only as a cultural artefact; it’s a truly powerful reflection on our environmental impact and its consequences for future generations.

Three-time Olivier Award-winner Sharon D Clarke is joined by Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who; Sex Education) in this joyful reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated comedy.

The Odyssey honours the late Gene Hackman through the film that won him his first Oscar, in 1972: directed by William Friedkin, this gripping crime thriller redefined the genre.

Hackman stars as the gutsy, unrelenting Detective "Popeye" Doyle, following him and his partner, the calm and methodical Detective Buddy "Cloudy" Russo, played by Roy Scheider, as they pursue an international drug trafficking ring. Hackman’s portrayal of Popeye –  a character defined by his aggressive, borderline obsessive approach to law enforcement – is widely regarded as his most iconic role.

Friedkin’s Oscar-winning direction brought a raw, documentary-style realism to the film, particularly through the famous car chase sequence – considered one of the most thrilling in cinematic history (a total must-see on the big screen). The French Connection also won Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Film Editing, setting a new standard for American crime films with a tough, gritty New York style that was often imitated for the rest of the decade.

Gene Hackman 1930 - 2025

It is time for the live-action musical reimagining of the iconic 1937 animated classic. This enchanting adventure brings the beloved fairytale to life, revisiting timeless from Walt Disney's first full-length animated feature, known for marking a major milestone in the world of animation.

Directed by Marc Webb, the film is produced by Marc Platt and Jared LeBoff, featuring a fresh, original soundtrack composed by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who infuse the story with vibrant new songs that complement the magic of the original.

The film showcases cutting-edge visual effects, stunning choreography, and a deeper exploration of Snow White's character, empowering her in new and inspiring ways.

With an all-star cast and a nostalgic yet innovative approach, "Disney’s Snow White" promises a captivating experience for fans of all ages.

This brilliantly unconventional comedy remains one of Britain’s most beloved and controversial films.

Written and performed by the legendary Monty Python troupe – Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin – the film is packed with sharp wit, absurdity, and unforgettable characters.

Following Brian Cohen (Chapman), an ordinary man mistaken for the Messiah, the film hilariously skewers religious dogma, political fanaticism, and human gullibility. Along the way, Brian encounters a host of eccentric figures, including the pompous Pontius Pilate (Palin), the revolutionary Reg (Cleese), the lisping Biggus Dickus (Idle), and his overbearing mother (Jones), who delivers the iconic line, “He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!”

Its biting humour and fearless irreverence cemented it as a national icon, despite initial bans. Decades later, Life of Brian remains an endlessly quotable, riotously funny watch, proving that its satire is as sharp and relevant as ever.

Following a prize-winning turn at Cannes last year, Louise Courvoisier’s sunny, rough-edged coming-of-age story in rural France arrives at the Odyssey.

18-year-old Totone’s days of drink and brawling are cut short when tragedy befalls his family, leaving him responsible for his younger sister and a failing dairy farm. Noticing a cheese competition with a lucrative cash prize, he plans to get rich using a rival’s award-winning milk – but as they grow closer, he starts to see more valuable things in his life.

A first-time writer-director, Courvoisier draws from her upbringing in Jura to deliver an authentic but large-hearted dramedy: one full of warmth, humour, and insight for its characters without ignoring their awkwardness and pain. They also come to life through an ensemble of first-time actors, led by Clément Faveau as the maturing protagonist.

The end of The Odyssey..?

Bloodied and broken after decades of war, Odysseus washes up on the shores of Ithica, finding his family threatened by local authorities who wish to cast him aside. In yet another tense and dramatic performance following up his Oscar-nominated turn in Conclave, Ralph Fiennes stuns as a brooding bruiser king with no more qualms about killing to keep the fragile peace.

Shot on Corfu, the film features stunning landscapes scarred by terrific production design depicting the Trojan War. Accomplished filmmaker Uberto Passolini (who produced The Full Monty), directs with sharp conviction, offering an insightful take on the final pages of Homer’s Odyssey, currently also being adapted into a star-studded blockbuster by Christopher Nolan.

David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife, Criminal Record) lead a stellar cast in an ‘enthralling’ (★★★★★ Daily Telegraph) new production of Shakespeare’s MACBETH, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen.

Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster (Life of Pi, Henry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’ (★★★★★ The Guardian), the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our actions?

The Penguin Lessons is a heartwarming adaptation of Tom Michell’s bestselling memoir, presented as a very special preview ahead of its UK release on 18 April.

Set in Argentina in 1976, the film follows English teacher Tom Michell (Steve Coogan) as he arrives at a prestigious boarding school, only to find himself struggling with a nation in turmoil and a class of unruly students. His life takes an unexpected turn when he rescues a small penguin from an oil-slicked beach. Naming it Juan Salvador, Tom soon realises the bird is more than just a pet – it becomes a source of wisdom and transformation for him and those around him, including the school’s headmaster, Buckle (Jonathan Pryce).

Directed by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty) and adapted by Jeff Pope (Philomena), The Penguin Lessons is a poignant tale of friendship, resilience, and the surprising ways we find hope in difficult times.

Robert De Niro returns to the mob saga in a masterful dual role, playing two historic crime bosses whose feud rocked the New York mafia.

In the early twentieth century, fellow Italian immigrants Frank Costello and Vito Genovese helped Lucky Luciano build the most powerful crime family in America – but when he is imprisoned, their friendship quickly goes sour. As decades pass, their struggle for power and influence threatens not only their lives and the people close to them, but the very world they are trying to control. Director Barry Levinson (Bugsy, Rain Man) and Goodfellas writer Nicholas Pileggi craft a vintage retelling of mob history with wit, detail, and drama.

At its core is a grand, operatic clash of personalities, which gives De Niro an opportunity for some of his most impressive acting in years.

Becoming Led Zeppelin explores the origins of this iconic group and their meteoric rise in just one year against all the odds.

Teleport back with us to the 1960s and follow John Bonham, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and Jimmy Page (or as you may know them, the members of Led-Zeppelin) from their first meeting through to their landmark breakthrough albums Led Zeppelin I & Led Zeppelin II.

Experience electrifying performances from one of the biggest rock bands ever on our glorious big screen. Feel the vibrations of immersive surround sound as you jam along to hits from their first two albums.

Powered by awe-inspiring, psychedelic, never-before-seen footage, performances, and music, the film is told in Led Zeppelin's own words and is the first officially sanctioned film on the group.

A poignant tale of hope and friendship, based on Stephen King’s novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption.

From director Frank Darabont, it follows Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a quiet, intelligent banker wrongly sentenced to life in Shawshank Prison for his wife’s murder. Amid the brutal realities of prison life, he befriends longtime inmate Ellis “Red” Redding (Morgan Freeman), who becomes both his mentor and closest ally.

Robbins delivers a subtle yet powerful performance, portraying Andy’s quiet resilience, while Freeman’s warm, wise narration adds emotional depth. Though nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, the film lost to Forrest Gump. Initially overlooked, it became a cult classic through home video and now ranks as IMDb’s #1 Greatest Movie of All Time, celebrated for its moving story, stellar performances, and enduring themes of hope and salvation.

Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival!

To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

Director, Jared Hess, known for Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, brings his signature quirky style to this hugely anticipated blockbuster adaptation.

Before becoming a prestigious Shakespearean actor and seven-time Oscar nominee, Richard Burton was Port Talbot schoolboy Rich Jenkins.

Widely considered one of the greatest actors of his generation, Richard Burton was a global star with formidable talent and inescapable fame. Whilst studying at Port Talbot Secondary School, he was taken under the wing of teacher Phillip Burton, who helped to oversee Jenkins’ transformation into the stage and screen legend he will forever be remembered as.

This delightful film shines the spotlight on Mr Burton (played by ever-reliable Toby Jones), who takes a shine to his talented pupil and endeavours to help him have the theatre career he also sought for himself. Up-and-comer Harry Lawtey (Joker: Folie à Deux) stars as the young Richard Burton profoundly impacted by his schoolmaster’s tutorship. The film is also beautifully scored by composer John Hardy, nephew of Robert Hardy, a lifelong friend of Burton’s.

A new European comedy tells a sweet, bizarre, yet historically-rooted story of a heist in the last days of East Germany.

In the summer of 1990, unemployed single mother Maren is bracing for the arrival of western capitalism, when her partner’s uncle tells her about masses of soon-to-be-obsolete communist money stored at the bunker where he works. With the help of the local community, she scrambles to take and spend as much of it as possible before reunification – but greed, the authorities, and conflicting values soon complicate matters.

Working from a surprising amount of historical fact, writer-director Natja Brunckhorst tells a farcical caper, but roots it in the real people and places behind late East Germany, making for a hilarious yet affecting story of unlikely second chances. Sandra Hüller (Toni Erdmann) leads a fantastic ensemble cast.

Margy Kinmonth’s feature documentary shines a light on the trailblazing role of women war artists, on the front lines round the world, championing the female perspective on conflict through art and asking: when it's life or death, what do women see that men don't?

Artists featured include Dame Rachel Whiteread, Zhanna Kadyrova, Maggi Hambling, Assil Diab, Dame Laura Knight, Marcelle Hanselaar, Cornelia Parker, Maya Lin, Shirin Neshat and Lee Miller.

War Paint – Women At War is the third instalment in Kinmonth’s trilogy of films about how artists depict war, following the acclaimed Eric Ravilious – Drawn To War and War Art with Eddie Redmayne.
