Steve

Hi all,
I’m setting up our next meetup for this Sunday, September 21st at 12.45pm for the screening of Steve to support our own Cillian Murphy in what looks like another powerhouse performance.

This time Cillian Murphy plays Steve a headteacher in an English last-chance reform school for youths who have been forsaken by society. As he fights to protect the school’s integrity and impending closure, Steve grapples with his own mental and physical health and with difficult events of his past.

Shy (Jay Lycurgo), a troubled teen who has alienated the people he loves, tries to reconcile his inner fragility with his impulse for self-destruction and violence. Meanwhile the staff, under Steve’s inspiring guidance, work to curb the excessive behaviours of the boys in their care with ingenuity and compassion.

# In his review of the film, the Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw has described Murphy as outstanding in a ferocious reform school drama.

I’m really looking forward to this one and I’ll be in the foyer from 12.15 pm with my navy baseball hat.
Screening is taking place in Screen 1. Plenty of tickets left as of Tuesday pm but early booking is advised.
I’m seated in K10.
See you all there.
Martin
