In The Fade [18]

2018, 106 mins

Description

Critically acclaimed filmmaker Fatih Akin (The Edge of Heaven) returns with In the Fade, a gripping, edge-of-your-seat contemporary thriller exploring the lengths one woman would go to seek retribution after a brutal terrorist attack. Inspired by shocking real-life events, the film tells the story of Katja (Diane Kruger), whose life is torn apart when her husband and young son are suddenly killed in a bomb attack. A police investigation points to a pair of young neo-Nazis as the key suspects, but when a lack of evidence fails to fully incriminate them, Katja is forced to take matters into her own hands and her hunt for justice begins to take increasingly dangerous and unexpected turns. Winner of the Best Actress award at Cannes 2017, the 2018 Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and featuring a career-defining central performance from Kruger, In the Fade is a timely and all-too-urgent drama about a woman pushed to the edge as she desperately searches for the answers she believes to be out there.

Ocean's 8 [12A]

2018, 110 mins

Description

An all-female extravaganza sees Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side), Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth) and Anne Hathaway (Les Misérables) come together in Gary Ross’s star-studded spin-off of Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s trilogy. Following her release from prison, Debbie Ocean (a cunning Bullock) recruits a crew of eight, including Cate Blanchett as her right-hand woman, to carry out an unbelievably ambitious heist at New York City’s glitzy annual Met Gala. All eyes are on celebrity Daphne Kluger’s (Hathaway) $150-million diamond necklace as the savvy women-only squad stage a robbery like no other – all the while attempting not to raise a single eyebrow. Mindy Kaling (The Mindy Project), Sarah Paulson (American Crime Story), Awkwafina, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter (The King’s Speech), Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) and James Corden (Gavin & Stacey) round off an ensemble cast.
