A comedy-drama film screening where estranged siblings reunite after years apart, forced to confront unresolved tensions with their emotionally distant parents.
Father Mother Sister Brother is showing at Harbour Lights Picturehouse on Wednesday 1 July, a mid-week matinee that sits right in the middle of the day. It's a family drama that doesn't shy away from the messy side of things: estranged siblings reunite after years apart, forced to confront unresolved tensions and re-evaluate their strained relationships with their emotionally distant parents. It's the kind of story that works because it's so familiar—the siblings coming back together, the old arguments resurfacing, and the distance between them and their parents that never quite closed. The film is billed as a comedy, a drama and a romance, so it should pull in a few different directions at once, blending the lighter moments with the heavier stuff.
If you're not already familiar with the venue, Harbour Lights Picturehouse is a two-screen cinema with a bar, tucked away in Ocean Village right by the harbour. It's a good spot for a matinee, especially if you're coming from the waterfront. The screening is on Wednesday 1 July at 14:45, so it's one of those mid-afternoon slots that works if you've got the day free or can step away for a few hours. It's a paid screening, and you can book your tickets through the Picturehouse site.

As for the practical side, child tickets are £3, which makes it an easy one to bring the younger ones along if that's your plan. The film itself is a mix of comedy, drama and romance, so it's aimed at adult audiences and younger cinephiles who enjoy that kind of character-driven storytelling. The session starts at 14:45 on Wednesday 1 July at Harbour Lights Picturehouse in Ocean Village.
