Red Joan
- 2018
- UK
- 1h 50min
- Directed by: Trevor Nunn
- Cast: Judy Dench, Sophie Cookson, Tom Hughes
Joan (Cookson when young, Dench later on) arrives at Cambridge in 1938 and is beguiled by radical politics into becoming a Soviet spy. Nunn’s first movie in over 20 years is a plodding, pedestrian affair, and while Dench captures her befuddlement and steely resolve, it fails to find the drama in a story inspired by intriguing real life events.

Tolkien
- 2019
- US
- 1h 52min
- 12A
- Directed by: Dome Karukoski
- Cast: Lily Collins, Nicholas Hoult, Genevieve O'Reilly
Young J.R.R. Tolkien (Gilby, then Hoult) romances Edith Bratt (Keene, then Collins), forms friendships and then fights in the trenches of WWI. Hoult is charismatic as the lead and Collins is charming as Edith, and it’s a convincing enough portrait, but it’s a bit too cosy and traditional, especially the family-friendly combat sequences.

Tommy Tiernan: Alive
The edgy Irish stand-up proffers whimsical and occasionally dark thoughts and observations.
Familiar face from the telly – and familiar voice from the radio – throughout his career, Tiernan has appeared on The Tommy and Hector Show (alongside Hector Ó hEochagáin). Eagle-eyed among you will remember him as Father Kevin in Graham Linehan's Father Ted. Since then, he's been all over the place: The Lee Mack Show, Micahel McIntyre's Comedy Road Show and Dave's One Night Stand.
Award-wise, he's been just as prolific, having won Channel 4's So You Think You're Funny? award in 1996, the Perrier in 1998 and the Best Stand Up at the British Comedy Awards in that same year.
In 2003, he won the Nokia Best of the Fest Award and the Orange People Choice Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2006, he won Ireland's Funniest Living Person Award at the People of the Year Awards. If that doesn't convince you, we don't know what will.

Built in 1936 as a cinema and theatre, by the late 70s the Tivoli was under threat of demolition but following a long campaign to save the building it reopened in 1993. Today it continues its tradition of showing a mixture of cinema and live performance and sometimes both, with a good deal of events being event cinema screenings. It receives no Lottery or government funding and relies for its revenue entirely on its customers and supporters.
The nearest train station to Wimborne Minster is Poole, nearly eight miles away. The No 3 bus runs a regular service from Poole station to the centre of the town.
