“Mark Rylance hits an ace in endearing sports comedy…It’s a heartwarming tale that will undoubtedly work for audiences who will, likewise, be quickly swept away by everything on show here…It’s certainly a film to remember.” (Awards Watch)

“It’s gorgeously acted and the slapstick made me cry with laughter.” (London Evening Standard)

“I loved The Phantom of the Open. I loved everything about it. I loved its look. I loved its feeling. I loved its ensemble. I loved Simon Farnaby’s inspired and intelligent and endearing and quite wonderful script. I loved Craig Roberts’s well-informed and richly human direction that both celebrates this unusual chap while also recognizing his quirks. I loved this family and I love those who choose to celebrate the people like Maurice Flitcroft who remind us to chase our dreams and never give up.” (The Independent Critic)

*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!
