The Hard Part Begins

The Hard Part Begins – 50th Anniversary screenings the week of August 25!

Advance tickets now available for The Hard Part Begins!

Jim King is a struggling country singer whose life is falling apart. His partner left him to pursue a solo career, his son is out of control, his ex-wife hates his guts and can’t wait to see him fail. Life on the road is no fairytale.

“a compelling, heartfelt character study…a lovely score by Ian Guenther, a thoughtful script by John Hunter, and nuanced direction by Lynch, The Hard Part Begins is still affecting and remains an early watershed of English Canadian realism.” (TIFF)

“Honest and well-acted, it is a hard film not to like.” (Reeling Back)

“It’s a classic” (Hidden Films)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
