Girls’ Night In
Nappily Ever After
Rating: PG13
Many of us know what it’s like to try and achieve perfection. Whether we’re trying to be the perfect mother, the perfect wife or just the perfect woman - it’s just not going to happen! Nappily Ever After follows a woman, Violet Jones, who has it all. When it all comes to a sudden halt she realises that perfection is not all it’s cracked up to be. This film is ‘perfect’ for a girls’ night in, with serious ‘girl power’ vibes and the ultimate message of: it’s okay to be yourself.
Going Out
For the Whole Family
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
Rating: PG
Nothing says ‘family time’ quite like a Disney film. And, with a star-studded cast featuring Dame Helen Mirren, Keira Knightley, Morgan Freeman and so many more famous faces, it’s impossible for The Nutcracker and the Four Realms to have flopped. Adapted from the classic tale, the film is a magical journey with stunning visuals and some of the best costumes we’ve ever seen on screen. If you’re a Christmas fanatic and like to get the festivities going as early as possible, this is the ideal way to kick-start the season with the whole family.
