Details

The Phoenix have added extra screenings of this as it has been a hit. And from what I've heard it is well worth a watch. And it is being shown in Screen 3 which has nice comfy and spacious seats
Meet in the cafe area between 5:45 and 6:15 for a chat before the film.
(Note, the Phoenix shuts at 8:30 on a Sunday; hence I'll be in the cafe area a bit earlier than usual before the film)

Film Synopsis:
Living alone on secluded Wallis Island, eccentric lottery winner Charles dreams of getting his favourite musical duo "McGwyer Mortimer" back together. The fantasy becomes real when the bandmates and former lovers agree to play a private show on the island, not realising they will be playing for an audience of one!

Penned by its leads Tom Basden and Tim Key, this finely tuned comedy also features terrific performances from Academy Award nominee Carey Mulligan (Maestro, Saltburn) and Sian Clifford (Fleabag).
