All About Eve
Date Location
Davis and Baxter are on top form in this tale of back-stage back-biting and conniving, and a young Marilyn makes a big entrance in a small part. A witty and intelligent film. Now on re-release in digital.
11 May–12 May Sun 5.00; Mon 8.00 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
Children of Glory
Date Location
Old-fashioned, melodramatic account of the 50th anniversary of the doomed Hungarian uprising against Soviet rule in 1956, which privileges action and spectacle over analysis and moral ambiguity and is at its best in its visual recreation of the attempted revolution.
15 May Thu 6.15 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
Dan in Real Life (Senior Screening)
Date Location
Rooted in warm, middle-class family values and about as predictable and inoffensive as a TV sitcom, 'Dan in Real Life' is the story of an advice columnist and widower (Carell) who falls in love with his brother's girlfriend (Binoche). Lead-footed and lame but mildly engaging, Carell's pleasantly effortless comedy style manages to save the film from complete mediocrity.
13 May Tue 1.20 Vue Inverness, Inverness
Doomsday
Date Location
In Marshall's derivative but enjoyable dystopian fantasy, Scotland 50 years on is a no-man's land ravaged by disease, cut off from England, and presided over by gangs of cannibals. This may well provide a few guilty pleasures for jaded action fans, but non-genre fans will find this about as subtle as a nail-encrusted club in the face
9 May–15 May 3.20, 5.50 & 8.30; Sat 12.50, 3.20, 5.50, 8.30 & 11.00; Fri 3.20, 5.50, 8.30 & 11.00 Vue Inverness, Inverness
The Driver
Date Location
Hill's second film can be viewed as either an existential thriller, or a car chase movie about an ice-cold getaway driver and the obsessive cop trying to nail him. Take your pick. The dynamic chases rival even the most famous screeching wheelfest of them all in 'Bullitt'.
13 May Tue 8.00 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Date Location
Writer and star Segal is Peter Bretter, a composer who gets dumped by his soap star girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Bell). Heading to Hawaii he bumps into her and her new rock star boyfriend Aldous Snow (Brand), who steals the show in an otherwise predictable and grating romantic comedy.
9 May–15 May 3.45, 4.15 & 8.40; Fri 3.45, 4.15, 8.40 & 11.10; Sat 1.10, 3.45, 4.15, 8.40 & 11.10; Sun 1.10, 3.45, 4.15 & 8.40 Vue Inverness, Inverness
Iron Man
Date Location
Performing a perfectly poised balancing act between taking the fantastical material seriously and treating it with a knowing sense of humour, this smart adaptation locates Tony Stark/Iron Man's story of professional irresponsibility and personal redemption firmly within the context of the war on terror. Kidnapped by Afghan insurgents, Iron Man promptly renounces arms manufacture and instead uses his super-powered outfit to right his wrongs.
9 May–15 May 2.00, 3.00, 5.00, 6.00, 8.00 & 8.45; Fri 2.00, 3.00, 5.00, 6.00, 8.00, 8.45 & 10.45; Sat 11.00am, 12.00, 2.00, 3.00, 5.00, 6.00, 8.00, 8.45 & 10.45; Sun 11.00am, 12.00, 2.00, 3.00, 5.00, 6.00, 8.00 & 8.45; Tue 2.00, 3.00, 5.00, 6.00 & 8.00 Vue Inverness, Inverness
Iron Man (Subtitled)
Date Location
Performing a perfectly poised balancing act between taking the fantastical material seriously and treating it with a knowing sense of humour, this smart adaptation locates Tony Stark/Iron Man's story of professional irresponsibility and personal redemption firmly within the context of the war on terror. Kidnapped by Afghan insurgents, Iron Man promptly renounces arms manufacture and instead uses his super-powered outfit to right his wrongs.
13 May Tue 9.00 Vue Inverness, Inverness
Lars and the Real Girl
Date Location
Lars Lindstrom (Gosling) is a quiet and sullen young man. His brother Gus (Schneider) and Gus' pregnant wife Karin (Mortimer) try to integrate him into the community with no success until Lars gets an unusual new girlfriend. By turns tender, thoughtful and open hearted, 'Lars and the Real Girl' manages to be both ridiculous and joyous.
9 May–15 May Fri 6.15; Sat 8.30; Sun 5.15; Mon 8.45; Tue 6.00; Wed 2.00 & 8.30; Thu 11.30am & 6.00 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
La León
Date Location
El Turu (Valenzuela) is the fiery captain of a boat that links the remote communities of traditional reed cutters in the Parana Delta of Northern Argentina. He bullies one of the workers, Alvaro (Román) as much for his love of books as for his homosexuality. A fine portrait of both the watery landscape and the sequestered lives of its inhabitants.
14 May 8.45 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
Made of Honour
Date Location
Tom (Dempsey) is a wealthy New York City playboy who only realises his best friend Hannah (Monaghan) is the love of his life when she plans to marry dashing stranger Colin (McKidd). Predictable 'ménage a trois' rom-com, which relocates to Scotland for some cultural stereotyping.
9 May–15 May 9.05; Fri & Sat 9.05 & 11.15 Vue Inverness, Inverness
Nim's Island
Date Location
Adapted from Wendy Orr's popular book about what happens when agoraphobic authoress Alexandra Ryder (Foster) is contacted by winsome brat Nim (Breslin), whose scientist father Jack (Butler) has gone missing. Breslin and Butler adapt well to the frothy postmodern adventure but Foster's attempts at slapstick are embarrassingly crude and obvious, lessening any emotional impact.
9 May–15 May 2.10, 4.30 & 6.45; Sat 11.50am, 2.10, 4.30 & 6.45; Sun 11.50am, 4.30 & 6.45; Tue 2.10 & 4.30 Vue Inverness, Inverness

11 May–13 May Sun 2.10; Tue 6.45 Vue Inverness, Inverness
The Orphanage
Date Location
First-time director Bayona and producer Guillermo del Toro create the best ghost story of the year so far. Laura (Rueda) was raised in an orphanage and on returning to her childhood home with her son Simon (Princep) things start to get creepy. The key to the success of this film is the edge-of-the-seat suspense, and there's even a brilliant sting in the tale.
9 May–15 May Fri 6.00; Sat 8.45; Sun 8.00; Mon 5.45; Tue & Thu 8.30; Wed 11.30am & 6.00 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
Speed Racer
Date Location
A live action though CG-heavy adaptation of a 1960s Japanese television anime about a futuristic family of racecar designer-drivers who are pitted against a corporate fat cat. The film's message is: business bad, family good, winning best of all. Not that this matters in a film with migraine-inducing race sequences and stomach-churning thrill-rides.
9 May–15 May 2.30, 5.20 & 8.10; Sat 11.40am, 2.30, 5.20, 8.10 & 10.55; Sun 11.40am, 2.30, 5.20 & 8.10; Fri 2.30, 5.20, 8.10 & 10.55 Vue Inverness, Inverness
La Vie En Rose (La Môme)
Date Location
This highly stylised film ricochets between different time periods of French singer Edith Piaf's (Cottilard) turbulent life. The brief and often overwrought scenes are sometimes hard to grasp without prior knowledge of Piaf, but Cotillard's central lip-synching performance is magnificent.
10 May–13 May Sat 5.45; Sun 2.00 & 7.30; Mon 6.00; Tue 11.30am & 5.15 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
What Happens in Vegas . . .
Date Location
This underwhelming romantic comedy details the love trajectory of Vegas gamblers Joy (Diaz) and Jack (Kutcher), who wake up one morning to find they are married and have also hit the jackpot on the tables. Cue farcical attempts to cheat each other out of the money while falling in love. This dumb but watchable is really just a bit of a waste of time.
9 May–15 May 1.50, 4.10, 6.30 & 8.50; Sat 1.50, 4.10, 6.30, 8.50 & 11.10; Sun 11.30am, 1.50, 4.10, 6.30 & 8.50; Fri 1.50, 4.10, 6.30, 8.50 & 11.10 Vue Inverness, Inverness

14 May Wed 11.30am Vue Inverness, Inverness
Wings Of Desire
Date Location
Restless angel Damiel (Ganz) is on duty over Berlin when he takes a tip from American movie star and former angel Falk on the possibilities of crossing over, and follows his mentor's path to consummate his relationship with beautiful circus acrobat Dommartin. Gorgeous black-and-white photography and a sensitive feel for the people and places of Berlin grace, this thematically rich and uncharacteristically optimistic slice of Wenders enchantment is highly recommended.
14 May–15 May Wed 6.15; Thu 8.45 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
You, the Living
Date Location
The bizarre 50 or so vignettes that constitute Andersson's first feature since 2000's apocalyptic 'Songs from the Second Floor' drop a traditional narrative for a series of precisely framed tableaux where the boundaries between dreams and reality are freely blurred. Described as 'a farce about the human condition', it's darkly comic with fleeting moments of hopefulness in its absurdist vision.
