Manchester by the Sea A family death throws one man’s life into turmoil... Packing an emotional wallop that will JAN leave you reeling, Manchester By The Sea tells the story of Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck), an immature janitor whose life is turned upside down when his brother dies and he becomes guardian to his teenage nephew. With Affleck on sensational form and Michelle Williams as electric as ever as Lee’s ex-wife Randi, this really is something quite special. An acting tour de force! 13 Watch the trailer Watch the trailer Jackie Table 19 Natalie Portman is perfect as the grieving First Lady Dumped Anna Kendrick finds reasons to be cheerful In 1963 the world was shaken to its core JAN when United States Commander-in-Chief John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Jackie tells the story of his brief presidency and its aftermath from the point of view of his beautiful, elegant, intelligent and ultimately heartbroken wife. Featuring a stunning performance from Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy, this is a fascinating and important story that offers a fresh perspective on one of America’s darkest ever days. Despite being ‘freed’ of her maid-of-honour JAN duties (after being dumped by text by the best man), Anna Kendrick’s Eloise decides to go to the wedding anyway, where she finds herself seated alongside five other outsiders at the exiled Table 19. At first Eloise thinks she’s made a terrible mistake in attending, but slowly but surely her quirky companions – who include Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe in Friends) and Stephen Merchant (The Office) – manage to bring a smile to her face. An oddball delight! 20 20 Download ODEON Magazine Never miss an issue again!
