Halkyn Mountain Community Cinema

Helen (Louise Brealey) lives with her ex-husband, his 20-year-old girlfriend, their new baby – and his dying mother Gwen. Her life is a grind, and like all the other women she toils with at the local chicken factory, is spent in service of the clock. She lives only for laughing with her friends at work, caring for Gwen, and music. When Joanne, the girl she secretly loved at school, comes back to town, Helen’s world is turned upside down.

This was a terrific film – and very well liked by our audience!

2025 is the tenth year of Halkyn Mountain Cinema! Many thanks to all of our cinema goers for supporting us.

Wonka was a marvellous confection indeed! Much enjoyed by our audience.

Our audience enjoyed our November screening. A really good film.

THE HOLDOVERS is a captivating Christmas story of three lonely, shipwrecked people at a New England boarding school over a very snowy winter break in 1970. The comedy stars Paul Giamatti as a teacher of ancient history who is universally disliked by students and colleagues; Da’Vine Joy Randolph as Mary Lamb, the head cook of the school, and Dominic Sessa as Angus Tully, a smart but troubled student. Left to their own devices in the empty school, there are adventures, a little calamity and, finally, a semblance of family.

Another enjoyable film – and not a dry eye in the house at the end!

Our audience enjoyed our screening of Oppenheimer.

We’ll be back in September with One Life – tickets go on sale in August.

An enjoyable evening was had by all – a full house for this screening!

Another well received film was shown in January.

Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: to track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. With the fate of the world at stake, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.

Not a dry eye in the house at the end of this screening in November 2023. A great film!

We showed this film on the very warm evening of 9 Sep – it was very well received!

It’s 1943.  The Allies are determined to break Hitler’s grip on occupied Europe, and plan to launch an all-out assault on Sicily; but they face an impossible challenge – how to protect the invasion force from potential annihilation. It falls to two remarkable intelligence officers, Ewen Montagu (Colin Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley (Matthew Macfadyen) to dream the most inspired and improbable disinformation strategy of the war – centred on the most unlikely of secret agents: a dead man.  Operation Mincemeat is the extraordinary and true story of an idea that hoped to turn the tide for the Allies – taking impossibly high risks, defying logic,  and testing the nerves of its creators to breaking point.
