Fresh Big Hearted Comedy
Cert: 12

Starring: Tim Key, Tom Basden & Carey Mulligan
The Ballad of Wallis Island follows Charles (Tim Key), an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favourite musicians, Mortimer-McGwyer (Carey Mulligan and Tom Basden) back together. His fantasy quickly turns into reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island. Old tensions resurface as Charles tries desperately to salvage his dream gig.
Ballad of Wallis Island has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 96%.
The film will be shown with an intermission with the bar and ice creams available.
A bittersweet, cardigan-clad small treasure of a film and a balm for battered souls. If there's any justice in the world it should be the breakout hit of the summer.
Wendy Ide, Top Critic, Observer
A deft and funny character comedy - The Ballad of Wallis Island cheerfully encourages us to shrug off the past and move forwards; it's a delightful, entertaining British movie that fully deserves its growing success with audiences at home and abroad.
