“Hopkins and Mirren are acting pros in stellar form. There's no way you want to miss the pleasure of their company….” - Rolling Stone
A bittersweet comedy about a Glasgow boy locked in a family feud who just wants a way out. When Robbie sneaks into the maternity hospital to visit his young girlfriend Leonie and hold his newborn son Luke for the first time, he is overwhelmed. He swears that Luke will not lead the same stricken life he has led. On community service Robbie meets Rhino, Albert and Mo for whom, like him, work is little more than a distant dream. Little did Robbie imagine that turning to drink might change their lives - not cheap fortified wine, but the best malt whiskies in the world. What will it be for Rob-bie? More violence and vendettas or a new future.

“There is love, laughter and whisky galore in Ken Loach's unusually joyful comedy drama about delinquent Scottish youths defying the odds soci-ety has stacked against them.” - Hollywood Reporter
THE SAPPHIRES THE SAPPHIRES THE SAPPHIRES
Inspired by a true story, The Sapphires follows four vivacious, young and talented Australian Abo-riginal girls from a remote mission as they learn about love, friendship and war when their all girl group The Sapphires entertains the U.S. troops in Vietnam in 1968. Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell), Gail (Deborah Mailman), Julie (Jessica Mauboy) and Kay (Shari Sebbens) are discovered by Dave (Chris O'Dowd), a good-humored talent scout with a kind heart, very little rhythm but a great knowledge of soul music.

In 1988, Chilean military dictator Augusto Pino-chet, due to international pressure, is forced to call a plebiscite on his presidency. The country will vote YES or NO to Pinochet, extending his rule for another eight years. Opposition leaders for the NO side persuade a brash young advertising execu-tive, Rene Saavedra (Gael Garcia Bernal), to spearhead their campaign. Against all odds, with scant resources and under scrutiny by the des-pot's minions, Saavedra and his team devise an audacious plan to win the election and set Chile free.

A Pope who has been newly elected, suffers a panic attack just before he's scheduled to appear on St Peter's balcony to greet the people who have been patiently awaiting the conclave's deci-sion as to who will be named pope. When his advisors can't convince him he's the right man for the job, they seek help from a re-nowned psychoanalyst, who also happens to be an atheist. But the new pope's fear of the respon-sibility that has been placed upon him is some-thing he has to come to terms with on his own.
