Featured review
The true story of the Lyric, a much loved and used cinema / theatre in the Welsh town on Carmarthen is destined for demolition to make way for a new supermarket. Local theatre producer and mum Liz Evans (Samantha Morton) decides to stop at nothing to keep the Lyric going.
Sub Ealing type comedy, which, whilst pleasant enough and well lead by Morton, needs more fun characters and indeed laughs. Sweet to be sure, but unremarkable and predictable.
