Screenings of Anton Corbijn's psychological thriller about writer Patricia Highsmith, starring Helen Mirren and Alden Ehrenreich.
A Talent For Murder runs at QUAD from Friday 20 November to Thursday 26 November, with screenings spread across the week. It's a psychological thriller directed by Anton Corbijn, with Helen Mirren playing the renowned writer Patricia Highsmith. The story follows a mysterious young man from a New York publisher, played by Alden Ehrenreich, who travels to Switzerland to persuade Highsmith to write one final instalment of the Ripley anthology. The film runs 106 minutes and is a co-production between the UK, USA, Italy and Switzerland.
There are plenty of slots to choose from, so you can fit it in whenever suits. On Friday 20 November, there are three screenings: 12:30, 14:30 and 18:15. Saturday 21 November has 12:30 and 17:30, and Sunday 22 November has one late showing at 18:45. It then returns on Thursday 26 November with 13:00, 15:15 and 20:30. If you're a fan of Mirren, this is her taking on Highsmith, the woman who gave us Tom Ripley, and the plot centres on the push and pull of getting her back to the page.

One of the Thursday screenings is a bit different: every Thursday at 1pm, the cinema pairs a screening with an introduction and a free cup of tea or coffee as part of its Midweek Treat, so that's a good one if you fancy a slower start to the afternoon. Descriptive subtitles are available across the run. Tickets are £10.50 standard and £8.50 concession.
