Wild Horse Nine (15)

Wild Horse Nine is coming to Gloucester Guildhall on Friday 27 November, with a run of screenings that stretches well into December. It's the new film from Martin McDonagh, the Oscar and BAFTA winner who did The Banshees of Inisherin, and it's described as a masterful and wickedly entertaining thriller. The story is set shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, and it follows two CIA agents, Chris and Lee, who are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ. Amidst the island's iconic statues, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students threatens to send everyone's trip to this remote paradise sideways. John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell are the two leads, and the whole thing runs 117 minutes.

It's recommended for ages 15 and over, so it's more of a grown-up night out than a family afternoon. The screenings are all in The Chamber, and there's a good spread of times to choose from if you can't make the opening night. The first is Friday 27 November at 7pm, followed by Saturday 28 November at 11am, Wednesday 2 December at 2pm, Thursday 3 December at 11am, and Wednesday 9 December at 11am. That's five dates over two weeks, with a mix of evenings, mornings, and a midweek afternoon, so you can pick whatever fits your schedule best.

There's also something to keep in mind about the different versions. Four of the screenings — the 27th, 28th, 2nd, and 9th — are audio described, and the one on Thursday 3 December is captioned. If you need either of those, you've got a few options to choose from. Tickets start from £6.50, and with the run going right up to the 9th, you've got plenty of time to find a slot that works for you.
