Why watch?
“Not only one of the best Christmas films, but one of the best films of all time! James Stewart is brilliant, as always, and the story is incredibly heartwarming. I watch It's A Wonderful Life every year because Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without it.”
Martha Boyd,
Digital Marketing Coordinator
Christmas Wrapping Fundraiser
George Bailey (James Stewart) has spent his life supporting the community of Bedford Falls. Overwhelmed with professional and personal problems, he finds his previously happy life falling apart on Christmas Eve. Struggling to see a way out, George is visited by his guardian angel and shown what life would be like if he'd never been born.
Beautifully crafted and acted, It's a Wonderful Life is considered one of the most charming Christmas films of all time.
Tickets for this year's screenings can be found here.
Details
“It's one of those ageless movies, like "Casablanca" or "The Third Man," that improves with age. Some movies, even good ones, should only be seen once. When we know how they turn out, they've surrendered their mystery and appeal. Other movies can be viewed an indefinite number of times. Like great music, they improve with familiarity. It's a Wonderful Life falls in the second category.”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“Although peppered with colourful, sharply drawn characters, this is Stewart's movie, instantly loveable as a small town dreamer who sacrifices everything for others. His journey to despair and back warms the cockles like little else. Enjoy it in a cinema so you can sob among others.”
Ian Freer, Empire
“Whether you view this film in the middle of the summer or at Christmas, Capra's greatest film represents one of the most transcendent and joyful experiences any movie-lover can hope for.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
