The Invite (15) 1h 47m

Dir: Olivia Wilde Cast: Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance The latest film from Olivia Wilde is her finest work yet – a charged, hilarious chamber piece that reverberates with the simmering tension of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and channels the queasy comedy of Abigail’s Party. Joe, a weary music professor, arrives home one evening to find his highly strung wife Angela has decorated their apartment, laid out a platter of expensive cheeses, and invited their sexy, uninhibited neighbours to supper. This remake of Spanish comedy The People Upstairs treats us to four knockout performances from Wilde, Rogan, Cruz and Norton. They are assisted in no small part by a razor-sharp script from Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, the duo behind smart comedy-drama Celeste and Jesse Forever. It also features a vibrant score from Devonté Hynes (aka Blood Orange) that ups the tension, and is handsomely shot on 35mm by The Studio cinematographer Adam Newport-Berra – his nimble camera keenly exploring the shifting energy between the characters. It’s a perfect exercise in probing the insecurities that lie hidden beneath the surface of a seemingly happy relationship. Bar opens from 7pm serving our fabulous cocktails, fine wines and craft beers, as well as savoury and sweet snacks. Film starts promptly at 8pm with last orders 10 minutes before the film WATCH THE TRAILER HERE

Dinghy Racing (all invited)

Run on a weekly basis and designed for all sailors competent at sailing a triangle. Choose who you sail with or go single handed, just book the boat that suits you and we will work out the handicap and start time. Designed to last for an average of 30-60 mins the races will take a pursuit race format, which means slower boats start first and the quicker boats start a specific number of minutes later. If sailor's abilities are the same, all boats should finish at the same time, so despite using PY handicaps, whoever is over the line first is the winner.
