The Descendants
Hawaiian lawyer Matt King (Clooney) has always been the backup parent, so
when his wife falls into a coma, he has to rise to the challenge of looking after his two sassy daughters. With little idea of how to cope, he must also wrestle with the secrets his wife has kept from him and the expectations of his wider family to cash in on a huge land deal. While the subject is serious, the touch is light, and the flawed and funny characters provide plenty of comedy, from bleak humour to sassy dialogue and even slapstick. With his acute observations of human shortcomings Payne (Sideways) moves seamlessly from wry humour to heartbreaking sadness. Expect Oscar nominations all round.
“A drama of unusual nuance. It lingers, spawns thoughts, connections, as a great film ought.” Guardian

Audio description for blind and visually impaired people is available for nearly all of Wyeside’s films and screenings (subject to availability, and excluding Gallery screenings) on request at the Box Office.
Subtitled screenings for the deaf and hard of hearing are available for most films (subject to availability and excluding Gallery screenings), but will be restricted to certain matinees: usually Wednesday afternoons.
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.
'PG' stands for Parental Guidance. This means a film is suitable for general viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for younger children. A 'PG' film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. Parents should consider whether the content might upset younger or more sensitive children.
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.
No-one under 12 is allowed to see a '12' film at the cinema or buy/rent a '12' rated DVD or video game. Parents are warned that '12' rated works are not suitable for children under 12 years of age.
No-one under 18 is allowed to see an '18' film at the cinema or buy/rent an '18' rated DVD or video game. No '18' rated works are suitable for children.
