A gloriously messy film, I, Tonya reexamines the scandalous rise and fall of Tonya Harding as Margot Robbie turns the notorious character into a woman deserving of public sympathy. Allison Janney’s performance stole the show and won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role. Shape of Water – 8 March At a top secret research facility in the 1950s, a lonely janitor forms a unique relationship with an amphibious creature being held in captivity. A masterpiece of storytelling from Guillermo del Toro – who won the Golden Globe for Best Director, this film is far from ordinary and spectacular to watch with an unrivalled musical score which also won the Golden Globe in Best Original score. Prayer Before Dawn – 29 March The true story of an English boxer incarcerated in one of Thailand’s most notorious prisons as he fights in Muay Thai tournaments to earn his freedom. Filmed in a real Thai prison, the cast is supplemented by actual inmates in this savage chronicle of Billy Moore’s battle for freedom.

You Were Never Really Here – 10 May A tormented but ruthless hired gun sets out to rescue a young girl from a human trafficking ring, only to find himself weathering a storm of violent vengeance when things go awry. A powerful assault of a film, You Were Never Really Here is a stark psychological thriller that strips back a familiar genre to explore the depths of human emotion behind the hitman. Lady Bird – release TBC In 2002, an artistically inclined seventeen-year-old girl comes of age in Sacramento, California. Making the cut as one of the Top 10 films of 2017 in Time magazine and garnering praise from famous fans such as Stephen Colbert who called it “one of the best movies he’s ever seen”, Lady Bird is soft and relatable and well-deserving of the Golden Globe for Best Musical or Comedy Motion Picture. Saoirse Ronan also picked up the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, for her moving portrayal.
