Good People

The film night for Thursday 2nd October for WFS will be in the Expo Hall at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.

At 6pm, WFS will screen the American drama starring Jessica Lange , Kathy Bates and Pierce Brosnan, THE GREAT LILLIAN HALL.

Our 8pm screening is the inspiring documentary about an English couple who attempt to breathe new life into their dying family farm using a revolutionary approach, WILDING.

THE GREAT LILLIAN HALL
USA, 2024 drama, 105 mins,
Rated M (strong language)
Cast: Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Lily Rabe, Pierce Brosnan.

Over a career of 30 years, beloved Broadway star, Lillian Hall (Jessica Lange) has always put her heart and soul into each of her leading roles on stage.

But with her latest play, Chekov's the Cherry Orchard, Lillian finds herself blindsided by bouts of confusion and forgetfulness.

Battling to retain her character's lines and her own identity for opening night, Lillian's tumultuous emotional journey finds her forced to balance her need for the spotlight with the demands of the real world.

"Lange is perfect in the role of a stage diva and her struggle with dementia. The script delicately deals with the subject matter but also makes you laugh out loud." - Variety

Tickets: Door sales only. $10 WFS members. Non-members pay $5 extra as an Associate Membership fee per film (Total of $15).
