Honey Boy
released Friday December 6th, 2019

A personal story of a fractured relationship, Honey Boy revolves around a young actor’s stormy childhood and early adult years as he struggles to reconcile with his father.

With his ascent to stardom, and subsequent adult crash-landing into rehab and recovery, we witness a battle with long-standing personal demons as the story navigaties different stages in a frenetic career.

From director Alma Har’el (Bombay Beach), Honey Boy explores hope through adversity.

 

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
released Thursday December 19th, 2019

The final part to the Skywalker saga, Episode IX is the culmination of over 40 years of storytelling since Star Wars first landed in cinemas in 1977.
See the conclusion of the journey with Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron and Kylo Ren…

 

Little Women
released Thursday December 26th, 2019

This new screen adaptation from writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) draws on the celebrated novel by Louisa May Alcott, in a refreshing take on the classic literature that is both faithful to its beautiful source material and strikingly original.

The beloved story of the March sisters – four young women each determined to live life on her own terms – as they come of age in America through difficult and changing times, during the aftermath of the Civil War.

With an incredible cast including Florence Pugh (Midsommar, Lady Macbeth), Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird, The Grand Budapest Hotel), Emma Watson (The Bling Ring), Eliza Scanlen (Sharp Objects, Babyteeth), Timothee Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird), Meryl Streep (The Post, Suffragette) and Laura Dern (Marriage Story, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Blue Velvet), Little Women is a late entry into 2019 but will likely become one of the cinema highlights of the year.
