When his second-in-command, Officer Dixon, an immature mother’s boy with a penchant for violence gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing’s law enforcement is exacerbated. Starring Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Abbie Cornish, Peter Dinklage and Samara Weaving.
I, Tonya [15] 119 mins
Based on unbelievable but true events, I, Tonya is a darkly comedic tale of American figure skater Tonya Harding, and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history – an infamous, ill-conceived and even more poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. This is an absurd, irreverent, and piercing portrayal of Harding’s life and career in all of its unchecked – and chequered – glory starring Margot Robbie, Allison Janney and Bobby Cannavale.
