Frustratingly for Jacob the money has stipulations, one of which is to attend a wedding, an event which propels him back into a past he thought long forgotten.

FRIENDS WITH MONEY (2006)

Certification15 Our Rating

Franny and Jane and Christine all have money, Olivia does not. Formerly a teacher, Olivia is now smoking pot and cleaning houses. But her struggle mirrors her friends' in more ways than they'd like to admit. Writer/director Nicole Holofcener comes up trumps again with witty and intelligent dialogue in this film and a human pace which takes time to revel in awkward situations and real life tribulations. Much like in 'Lovely and Amazing', she takes what might seem mundane and somehow makes it univ find out more...

LARS AND THE REAL GIRL (2007)

Certification12 Our Rating

When shy dork Lars overcomes his problems by adopting a life-size doll as his girlfriend, the event is treated seriously, rather than derisively, in this distinctly odd small town American community. The doll is treated as a celebrity, asked to parties, offered jobs as a teacher, nurse and, more appropriately, as a clothes model, events that open up Lars's own social horizon. Despite his mental short comings he still attracts fellow office worker Margo and the two seem well suited to each oth find out more...

LEMMING (2005)

Certification15 Our Rating

A successful inventor and his charming wife, a seemingly idyllic couple, make the unavoidable error of having his new boss and embittered wife to dinner, and the guests dark and twisted loathing swiftly takes its toll on the hosts for the evening. A later meeting and attempted seduction take the movie from acute, embittered comedy to dark and dangerous drama. Given a chilling Hitchcockian twist, The Lemming shares much of its style with Moll's earlier �Harry He's Here To Help' and, like that fil find out more...

LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (2009)

Certification15 Our Rating

Lonely, bullied 12-year-old Oskar fantasises about taking bloody revenge on his tormentors and Eli, his new neighbour, might look 12-years-old too, but she's been that way for rather a long time, and her fantasies involving blood are somewhat different! An unlikely alliance forms between the two in this subtle combination of pre-teen male/female bonding and vampire lore... all set in a snowbound Swedish working class suburb. find out more...

MARY AND MAX (2010)

Certification12 Our Rating

Adam Elliot's follow-up to his short opus 'Harvie Krumpet' is a tour-de-force of jaw-dropping animation, heart-wrenching beauty and exquisite sadness. Ostensibly, it's a tale of friendship between two pen pals; Mary, a lonely eight-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max, a forty-four-year-old obese man living in New York and suffering from Asperger's syndrome. The depth of pathos in their quasi-romantic exchanges becomes unbearable at times, but the expertly nuanced narrati find out more...

MAX MANUS (2007)

Certification15 Our Rating

A high octane action - and not far from historically accurate - pic glorifying the role of Norwegian Resistance fighter Max Manus in his battle against the evil Nazi empire. We follow our likeable hero from the 1940 winter war against the Soviets in Finland through to the 1945 defeat of the Bosch. We observe his guilt at his own survival while his mates are killed in the struggle and, we learn of his own high risk manoeuvres - the mining of two German ships being a classic set piece. find out more...
