THE CHRISTOPHERS (2025/1hr40min/15)

The Christophers' is a film about contemporary art and puts new life and wit into the subject of what has value and what does not. Julian Sklar, an irascible, dyspeptic old English painter, wonderfully played by Ian McKellen, is a once dominant but now outmoded and disliked artist of the School of London variety, living alone in a dilapidated, bohemian townhouse.

Julian's grasping adult children Barnaby (James Corden) and Sallie (Jessica Gunning) hire Lori Butler, a charismatically self-controlled former art student, to find a series of much talked-about paintings "The Christophers" that Julian began showing in the 1990s while he was still a big name. Barnaby and Sallie figure that these are the only things worth big money for them when their father Julian passes on. Lori, played brilliantly by Michaela Coel, is to find, or if they are destroyed or unfinished, to finish or forge similar works using her remarkable pastiche skills so that they can pass them off as genuine and reap the financial reward. The heart of the film is contained within the pair’s engrossing sparring matches, Julian’s grandstanding declarations pinging off Lori’s impassive insights. Lori radiates mystery and may be his worst enemy, his worst assistant, biggest fan or closest ally Rolling repeatedly from spiky to sad, from feuding to fellow-feeling, they create an unabashedly theatrical effect.

Director: Steven Soderbergh
Stars: Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning

The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) (12) 1hr 40mins

Written by lead actors Tom Basden and Tim Key, this is a funny, melancholic yarn of a folk duo reunited by an oddball superfan. Key plays Charles, an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and tries to make his fantasies come true by getting his favorite musicians to perform at his home. The musicians were a moderately successful indie-folk duo who parted company ten years ago, both musically and romantically. Meeting again for the first time since then, they both reflect on their previous life together and Charles mourns the love that first inspired his dedication to the the duo’s music – does he truly love the band, or does he just love the memories he made listening to them? Directed by James Griffiths, and starring Tom Basden, Tim Key, Carey Mulligan, and Sian Clifford.

Tickets (£10 or £6 for members) are available from our website www.pinegrovepictures.org.uk, or on the door on the night. Doors and bar open at 7pm for film to start at 9pm. Everyone is very welcome.

A Real Pain (2024) (15)

1hr 30mins

Two cousins, David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin), as close as brothers, attempt to heal their generational trauma and their relationship with each other by flying out to Poland to visit their late grandmother’s house. They join a group on a Jewish heritage tour, a highly emotional and revelatory journey. David and Benji are at opposite ends of the emotional spectrum. The former is a diligent micro-manager of his pain. The latter is charismatic, but volatile; so much of an active listener that he’ll cry out, “Oh snap!”, when a group member shares that he’s a survivor of the genocide in Rwanda.

Director & Writer: Jesse Eisenberg
Stars: Kieran Culkin, Jesse Eisenberg, Olha Bosova

Doors, and bar, open at 7pm, with film starting at 8pm.

The Lost King (2022) (12)

1hr 48mins

Based on a true story, amateur historian Phillipa Langley defies the stodgy academic establishment in her dedicated campaigning to discover King Richard III’s remains, which were lost for over 500 years. Drawn to this figure because of the way Shakespeare monsterises his disability – an outward sign of inward sin – Langley, who has ME, also feels sidelined, dismissed and misunderstood. Her obsession is further sparked by visions and conversations with Richard III (Harry Lloyd), who looks exactly like the actor in the local Shakespeare production.

Director: Stephen Frears
Stars: Sally Hawkins, Shonagh Price, Harry Lloyd, Steve Coogan, Helen Katamba

Doors open at 7pm, with film starting at 8pm.
