SYNOPSIS:

THE MIRACLE CLUB is a heartwarming, hilarious film that celebrates the power of friendship, love, and laughter with a poignant message and stunning performances from Academy Award ® winners Maggie Smith and Kathy Bates, Academy Award ® nominee Laura Linney, and rising talent Agnes O’Casey. The stories of these women reminds us that we are only as strong as the friends and family who stand by us.” Jarod Neece, Tribecca Film Festival

Ballyfermot, Ireland, 1960. A hard-knocks community in outer Dublin marches to its own beat, rooted in traditions of loyalty, faith and togetherness. There’s just one tantalising dream for the women of Ballyfermot to taste freedom and escape the gauntlet of domestic life: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes. And with a little benevolent interference from their cheeky and rebellious priest, close friends Lily, Eileen, Dolly and Sheila are the ‘lucky’ few to win this ticket of a lifetime at their riotous local raffle night.

ONLY IN CINEMAS JULY 27

SYNOPSIS:

Blood-drenched gore served with a beer

Vengeance is golden in the relentlessly brutal and blood-drenched new action thriller SISU.

From the studio that brought you John Wick, SISU is centred on one Finnish man’s rampaging quest for vengeance against an endless parade of Nazis during the last desperate days of WWII. The solitary gold prospector crosses paths with Nazis who steal his gold, however they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner.

While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word “SISU”, this legendary ex-commando will embody what SISU means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds.

Witness this one-man death squad at our Blood Red Carpet Preview Screenings at both Dendy Coorparoo and Dendy Portside Cinemas on Wednesday, July 26 at 6.30pm with a Stone and Wood beer on arrival.

Patriarchy.

It’s a big word in our society at the moment.

Set in the early 1980s, Top Girls depicts the lifestyle and life choices of its central character, Marlene. A successful career woman, who’s just received a major promotion, who indisputably fought her way to the top to get it – Marlene’s star is rising. 

To celebrate, she throws a fabulous Saturday night dinner party for herself. In attendance are not friends, family, or colleagues, but astoundingly famous women from history, literature, and legend.  The women share their extraordinary experiences of life, work, love, and children. 

Enter Marlene to Top Girls Employment Agency, a dazzling hot and prominent business in central London where Marlene has just scored the prime position.   She is Top Girl in a man’s world, but she has a sister whose life is very different. The uncovering of their secrets reminds us of what is really important and what it is we are prepared to lose.
