A Separation
Superbly acted from an excellent script this plunges you into life in Tehran and tricks you into believing it’s unfolding in real time, even though what it doesn’t show is as important to its ethically teasing dynamic as what it reveals. Simin wants to divorce Nader so she can leave Iran, while he insists she must stay and help him look after his old Dad. Small decisions have big repercussions and you’re never sure who’s right or wrong as we see the story from various viewpoints. This lively, suspenseful drama ranges over notions of justice, honour, truth, duty, the status of wives and the impact of secrets and lies on their young daughters. A stunning piece of work that beautifully tells a raw human story.

For any event that displays this icon, one free '18s & under' ticket is available with any other ticket purchased. In many cases, this effectively allows two persons aged 18 or under to attend live shows for just £ 2.50 each!
The 'TBC' cetificate means that an event is waiting for the certificate to be confirmed.
The 'U' symbol stands for 'Universal'. A 'U' film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over. However, it is impossible to predict what might upset a particular child, especially at this lower end of the category range.
The A stands for 'accompanied' and 'advisory'. '12A' means that anyone aged 12 or over can go and see the film unaccompanied. Children younger than 12 may see the film if they are accompanied by an adult (eg someone over the age of 18), who must watch the film with them.
