ON THE REEL Here is a small taste of some ‘must see’ films we know our film buffs will enjoy. BROTHERS NEST Label Distribution TWO IS A FAMILY Palace Films TEA WITH DAMES Transmission Films 12 years after the phenomenal success of Kenny, director/actor Clayton Jacobson reunites with his brother Shane Jacobson in a very different film, yet just as quintessentially Australian and individual. On a cold morning in the middle of country Victoria, two brothers arrive at the family home intent with treacherous intent. Terry and Jeff’s motive is to make sure their dying Mother’s plan to change her will in favor of her husband - their stepfather - is upturned.  It is all meticulously planned, but there is one thing the boys didn’t take into account - spending an entire day together. Old grudges, different worldviews and a general troubled history will pit these two brothers against each other. TWO IS A FAMILY is a crowd- pleasing comedy about the jovial Samuel (Omar Sy), a care-free ladies’ man living large in the South of France, who is thrust into single- fatherhood without warning when former lover Kristin (Clémence Poésy) arrives out of nowhere and deposits an infant daughter in his care. Incapable of looking after a baby, Samuel rushes to the UK in an attempt to return the child to her mother, without any luck, and is forced to bringing up the daughter he never knew he wanted, but who he soon realises he cannot live without. TEA WITH THE DAMES invites you to spend time with theatrical icons Joan Plowright, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Eileen Atkins off screen as they talk about their lives now and then: their experience in theatre, TV and cinema and the memories that they have from when they were bright young things right up to the present day - now looking back with the wisdom of the years. 21 JUNE 2018 TRAILER 68 Women’s Network Magazine 28 JUNE 2018 TRAILER 7 JUNE 2018 TRAILER And all of them, as anyone can observe, are spectacularly comfortable in their own skin: larger than life characters whose personalities reflect the extraordinary experience of playing hundreds of characters and the great joy they’ve brought to the world.
