Queen at Sea, which won the Silver Bear Jury Prize and stars Juliette Binoche and Tom Courtenay, screens at Carbon Arc Cinema on Summer Street Thursday night.
Screening times: Thursday, November 12, 6:30 PM Friday, November 20, 6:30 PM Lance Hammer | UK | 2026 | 121m Amanda and her stepfather Martin struggle with a moral issue that divides them. Has Amanda's mother Leslie, who has dementia, lost the ability to make critical decisions in her own best interests? And, if so, who is responsible - a spouse, a child, an institution - for making such a determination? As Amanda and Martin are forced to make increasingly difficult choices, the repercussions spiral out of their control. Shattering yet deeply compassionate, Queen at Sea confronts the emotional ravages of mental decline with unflinching honesty and outstanding performances. Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche (The Taste of Things), Academy Award nominee Tom Courtenay (45 Years), Anna Calder-Marshall (Wuthering Heights), and Florence Hunt (Bridgerton) star in this unflinching drama. The film won the Silver Bear Jury Prize and Tom Courtenay and Anna Calder-Marshall won the Silver Bear for Best Supporting Performance at the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival. "Appropriately and unavoidably bleak, and keenly understated, this is nevertheless a quietly enthralling piece of cinema, grappling with dementia both morally and mentally. Despairing, hugely compassionate work." - Alex Godfrey, Empire Magazine Tickets $12 ($11.40 at the door if available) Thursday, November 12, 6:30 PM tickets Friday, November 20, 6:30 PM tickets
