Films showing from Friday January 4 at the Kino, Rye
The Favourite [15] 119 mins
It’s the early 18th century. England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah Churchill governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne’s ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail Masham arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become quite time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen’s companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfil her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way. Starring Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, Emma Stone, Mark Gatiss, Nicholas Hoult, Joe Alwyn, Jenny Rainsford and James Smith.
Holmes and Watson [12A] 90 mins
Detective Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson join forces to investigate a murder at Buckingham Palace. They soon learn that they have only four days to solve the case, or the queen will become the next victim. Starring Will Ferrell, John C Reilly, Ralph Fiennes, Kelly Macdonald, Rebecca Hall and Pam Ferris.
Aquaman [12A] 143mins
An action-packed adventure that spans the vast underwater world of the seven seas and stars Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime – one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be: a king. Directed by James Wan and starring Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, Djimon Hounsou and Temuera Morrison.
