Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites. THE ROSES is a reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler.

“This remake of the 80s divorce farce is “a piercing black comedy” that is “played with droll perfection” by Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman” BBC Film Reviews

The film I Swear is a British drama based on the true story of John Davidson, a Scottish teenager who was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at age 15 at a time when it was little known and misunderstood (It is thought that Mozart also had the condition).

The film follows John’s journey from being misunderstood in 1980s Scotland to becoming a passionate advocate for the condition as an adult. It explores how he navigates challenges, stigma, and misunderstanding, and finds his purpose in raising awareness and acceptance.

Featuring outstanding performances from Robert Aramayo, Peter Mullan, Shirley Henderson and Maxine Peake, I SWEAR is a frank, funny and touching story about the transformative power of friendship and community.

**Warning: Contains extreme profanity as part of the story of Tourette Syndrome.
