THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON
Saturday 30th May 2026 7:30pm
"The Feel Great Hit."
Quirky Comedy Drama
Cert: 12A
US 2019 97 mins (plus an intermission of 15 mins)
Directors: Tyler Nilson, Michael Schwartz
Starring: Zak Gottsagen, Shia LaBeouf and Dakota Johnson
A modern Mark Twain style adventure story from the producers of Little Miss Sunshine. THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON tells the story of Zak (Zak Gottsagen), a young man with Down Syndrome, who runs away from a residential nursing home to follow his dream of attending the professional wrestling school of his idol, The Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church).
A strange turn of events pairs him on the road with Tyler (Shia LaBeouf), a small-time outlaw on the run, who becomes Zak’s unlikely coach and ally. Together they wind through deltas, elude capture, drink whisky, find God, catch fish, and convince Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), a kind nursing home employee charged with Zak’s return, to join them on their journey.
An extremely important film with respect to representation for people with disabilities; Zack gets to be a full human with a wealth and depth of life experience just like any one of us.
The film will be shown with an intermission with the bar and ice creams available.
A feelgood adventure brought to life by outstanding performances, The Peanut Butter Falcon finds rich modern resonance in classic American fiction.
A surprising hit in the US last year, The Peanut Butter Falcon won over audiences and became the highest grossing independent film of the year and it's easy to see why. The Peanut Butter Falcon is a sweet, tender and joyful portrayal of an unlikely friendship and it won't fail to charm.

MATERIALISTS
Saturday 4th July 2026 7.30pm
"To Marry for Love, or for Money ?"
Comedy Drama
Cert: 15
US 2025 117 mins (plus an intermission of 15 mins)
Director: Celine Song (Past Lives – also shown at Talisman Cinema)
Starring: Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans and Dakota Johnson
An ambitious young New York City matchmaker finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex.
Lucy is a successful matchmaker in Manhattan, though she has not been as lucky in her own love life. At the wedding of one of her clients, she meets the wealthy and charismatic Harry, while also running into her ex-boyfriend John, a struggling actor.
To marry for love, or for money? That’s the age-old question writer-director Celine Song poses in her soulful romantic dramedy “Materialists.”
Song’s follow-up to her achingly gorgeous 2023 drama “Past Lives” draws from the traditions of Jane Austen, classic screwball comedies and those early-naughts rom-coms. You could imagine Kate Hudson as a girl on the go in the big city in some fluffier version of this movie.
And yet, “Materialists” is very much its own thing: sharper and spikier, brutally honest and bracingly contemporary in its depiction of dating in 21st-century Manhattan. If you’re seeing it with hopes of glittery escapism, based on its A-list stars and a trailer that prominently features a cover of Madonna’s “Material Girl,” be prepared that the result is a little sadder, a little more substantial. And that’s much of what’s so wonderful about it.
The film will be shown with an intermission with the bar and ice creams available.
A mature deconstruction of the conventional rom-com, Materialists provides its trio of swoon-worthy stars some of their meatiest material yet while reaffirming Celine song as a modern master of relationship dramas.
That's the strength of Song's writing. One of the two Academy Award nominations 'Past Lives' received was for her original screenplay. Here she once again reveals a startling ability to write characters who feel real and complicated, messy and vulnerable, but are also blessed with the gift of saying the right thing at the right time in a way that's direct but poetic.
