Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother

Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother is coming to QUAD on Friday 27 November, with screenings running through to Thursday 3 December. It's an action film from director Bassam Tariq, starring Mahershala Ali as Latif, a devoutly religious hitman who spends his days trying to balance his work, his faith and his life as a father. When his wife dies, he sets off on a desperate journey across Houston to protect his children, facing the forces closing in around him and the beliefs threatening to unravel within.

Ali is the one to watch here. Variety called him "remarkable in a role ideally tailored to his potently still screen presence", and that stillness is a good way to describe the kind of performance he's known for. The US production runs 112 minutes, so it's a full feature without overstaying its welcome. If you've seen Ali's work before, you'll know he does a lot with very little, and that's exactly what he's doing as Latif—a man caught between the violence of his job and the faith he holds onto.

There are four screenings to choose from, so you can pick the one that fits your week. It opens on Friday 27 November at 21:00, followed by Saturday 28 November at 16:30 and Sunday 29 November at 19:30. The final showing is on Thursday 3 December at 20:35. Tickets are £10.50 standard and £8.50 concession, and you can book them through the QUAD website.
