THE MASTERMIND (cert 12)
7:00pm Saturday May 30th
St Peter's Centre, Church St, Staithes

The Mastermind is a drama comedy directed by Kelly Reichardt and starring Josh O'Connor as JB 'the world's worst art thief'. He's a bit of a dreamer, supported by his wealthy family. But he wants more, and devises what he misguidedly believes to be a perfect crime: the theft from a provincial museum of four paintings. How hard can it be? It turns out he hasn't fully thought it through, and the film follows the unravelling consequences.
*** This is O’Connor at his finest yet, and The Mastermind is the slinkiest, most satisfying piece of “mood cinema” you’re likely to have seen for a long while. Nick Howells, Evening Standard.
** Utterly distinctive and exciting. Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
O’Connor is phenomenal. Wendy Ide, The Observer

FILM: The Mastermind (cert 12)
WHEN: Saturday 30th May, 7:00 pm
VENUE: St Peter's Centre, Church Street, Staithes TS13 5BH
TICKETS: £5.00 adult, online at Ticketmaster, or on the door

I SWEAR (cert 15)

7:00pm Saturday April 25th
Hinderwell Hub, High Street, Hinderwell

'Funny, fierce and full of heart' **** Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
'An astonishing feelgood film about life with Tourette’s' The Times
'Hilarious and heart-warming film' **** Tim Robey, The Telegraph
'Robert Aramayo is exceptional ' Nikki Baughan, Screen Daily

We're on the road in April, bringing the very well reviewed 'I Swear' to Hinderwell Hub. 

The film is about real-life activist John Davidson, who is from Galashiels in the Scottish Borders and has Tourette syndrome, with its tics, compulsive behaviour patterns and random obscene shouts. He was awarded an MBE in 2019 for his work educating the nation about the condition since he first exhibited its symptoms as a teenager in 1989, as captured in the BBC’s sensational documentary John’s Not Mad. I Swear contains a great performance from Robert Aramayo, full of intelligence and charm, and it raises relevant questions about the overdiagnosis debate surrounding conditions such as ADHD and autism, as well as the larger tonal point of how, when and whether to laugh at John or with him.

CHRISTY (cert 15)
7:00pm Saturday March 28th
St Peter's Centre, Church St, Staithes

Christy is a 'warm, involving, moving and funny', Irish movie about two brothers from Cork’s northside. It features 'outstanding performances of sympathy and strength'. There’s always a heartbeat of humour: it's a smart, likeable picture.

Set in Cork, Shane has to deal with his younger half-brother Christy, a seething, glowering 17-year-old who has just lost his place with a foster family on the other side of town owing to an ugly scrap, which is going viral on social media. But it turns out Christy has a talent not just for fighting, but for hairdressing. This gives the brothers a way out - but gets them into tricky situations too. A unexpected hit, with plenty of 4* reviews.

THE TASTE OF THINGS (cert 12A)
7:00pm Saturday February 28th
St Peter's Centre, Church St, Staithes

'Deliciously Subversive' **** Wendy Ide, The Guardian
'So vividly and lovingly made, you’ll swear you can smell and taste every shot' **** Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

The film is set in France in 1885, the setting beautifully realised by Vietnamese-French director Tran Anh Hung. Binoche plays cook Eugenie with 'real wit and delicacy', with Magimel as famed gourmet Dodin Bouffant. The film has stunning sequences in the kitchen where the pair create increasingly elaborate dishes, but it's really about the deepening and enduring relationship between Eugenie and Dodin, sensually captured in a film that 'defies expectations'. Over the years, they have fallen in love, with Dodin proposing numerous times. As the dishes become more complex and sophisticated, the relationship develops.
