New Film Releases: January 25-31 2019

The multiple Oscar-nominated Vice (go here for our review) is this week’s big release. Alternative choices include Nicole Kidman coming over all ‘orrible in Destroyer (go here for our review), Clint Eastwood’s codger crime flick The Mule, J-Lo romcom Second Act, cute doggy drama A Dog’s Way Home and, erm, sex raft doc The Raft.

There are also previews of Peter Farrelly’s Oscar-nominated Green Book on Mon, Wed and Thur and horror flick Escape Room on Sat.

Event cinema choices include the NT’s live broadcast of David Hare’s new political satire I’m Not Running, a preview of Ray and Liz with a director Q&A at the Watershed, and the start of the Northern Ballet’s new run of colourful hoofing romps for tots with Tortoise and the Hare.

There’s a huge selection of one-off screenings this week too, ranging from Monty Python and the Holy Grail at the Curzon to the 25th anniversary return of The Shawshank Redemption and screenings of Schindler’s List – with a new introduction by Steven Spielberg – to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.
