How About You

January 2nd - January 8th

"... by-the-numbers audience-pleaser." — Hollywood Reporter

"Based on a short story by the great Irish writer Maeve Binchy, the film has structure, resonance and a welcome respect for well-delineated characters, beautifully observed by a distinguished cast." — Rex Reed

Starring Academy Award Winners Vanessa Redgrave and Brenda Fricker, and Academy Award Nominee Imelda Staunton. Based on a short story by Maeve Binchy. Ellie (Hayley Atwell), a free-spirited and headstrong young woman, is left in charge of a residential home, owned and operated by her older sister Kate (Orla Brady), over the Christmas holidays.

‘Hope I die before I get old’, The Who sang in 1965. Paul McCartney wondered if he’d still be loved, ‘when I’m 64’. But today, ageing rock stars and contemporary society are reconsidering their perceptions of Old. A belief that we have choices and potential not just in our early years, but right though life, is at the centre of HOW ABOUT YOU. Adapted from a short story by Maeve Binchy, it has all the hallmarks of Ireland’s most widely read and internationally successful writer of popular fiction. HOW About You is an often funny and deeply human story of growing self-acceptance, where an unlikely group of characters develop relationships which are not only surprising, but transformative. In a film filled with compelling performances and vivid individuals, we discover a story about the rejuvenating power of other people. 2008/ 100mins/ Ireland/ NR
