Dating Amber
08 July
Dating Amber is a poignant, honest and funny look at the highs and lows of teenage life where the only way to fit in is to not be yourself, even if this goes against your very being. Set in Ireland during the mid-90s, Eddie and Amber decide to stage a relationship in order to stop everyone speculating about their sexuality. Eddie is keen to follow his dad into the military, while Amber dreams of moving to the liberal hub of London. However, their ‘ideal’ arrangement begins to fall apart, forcing Eddie deeper into denial as Amber realises that a perilous future awaits her best friend unless she intervenes. Dating Amber is a love letter to all those kids who grew up in a small town and who needed to escape in order to be themselves.
The Godmother
15 July
The effervescent Isabelle Huppert delights as Patience Portefeux in The Godmother. Gritty realism meets stoner comedy in this movie of a middle-aged police interpreter who switches sides to become a wholesale narcotics trafficker armed with insider legal knowledge and a striking designer wardrobe. Laughs aside, The Godmother is also a meaningful and heartfelt drama about female empowerment. The audience will delight in Patience’s transformation and gleefully relish in the scenes where she dominates her competition in the drug trade and thwarts detection from her colleagues in the police.
