Thirty years after starring in "The Wizard of Oz," and desperate for money, Judy Garland arrives in London in 1968 to perform sold-out shows at the Talk of the Town nightclub. While there, she reminisces with friends and fans and begins a whirlwind romance with musician Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband.

“This is Renée Zellweger’s Judy. It’s a performance of such overwhelming force that it wrests authorship from every other hand that guided the film’s creation. Zellweger is magnetic.....it’s the performance of a lifetime” (The Independent)

Genres: Biography, Drama, Crime, Romance, Thriller, War

​The true story of a Katherine Gun, the GCHQ whistleblower who leaked information to the press about an illegal US National Security Agency spy operation designed to persuade the UN Security Council to approve the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Starring Keira Knightley and an all star British cast (including Ralph Fiennes, Matt Smith, Rhys Ifans, Tamsin Greig, and Jeremy Northam), it is a story with ongoing resonance. As Gun shouts at Tony Blair arguing the case for war on the TV screen: “Just because you’re the prime minister doesn’t mean you get to make up your own facts.”
“A film that’s gripping, righteous, relevant, moving – in short, a very good yarn that just happens to be true”. (i news)Matt Smith, Matthew Goode
