**Golden Globes winner - Best Picture, Best Director & Best Actor**

Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Toth arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes. On his own in a strange new country, László settles in Pennsylvania, where the wealthy industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren recognizes his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost.... A sobering cautionary tale of the elusive American Dream and an ambitious exploration of the immigrant experience, The Brutalist is stunning cinematic achievement. Adrien Brody’s performance is extraordinary alongside his supporting cast of Guy Pierce and Felicity Jones.

FLEABAG

 

Saturday, February 1st @ 11AM

 

Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life.

 

Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.

 

The hilarious, award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag, was captured live on stage from London’s West End in 2019.

 

TICKETS: $25.00 (advanced tickets available at the Star Cinema box office)

While assuming the role of a dutiful guardian in the country, Jack lets loose in town under a false identity. Meanwhile, his friend Algy adopts a similar facade. Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate.

 

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

PRIMA FACIE

 

Saturday, March 8th @ 11AM

 

Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play returns to cinemas.

 

Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending; cross examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.

 

Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game.
