Animated films can get a mixed reaction from our audience and fewer people generally come to see them. However, those who came to #Flow last night were rewarded with an immersive and visually stunning film. This was reflected in a 93% approval rating from those who voted after watching it.

The Gatehouse has switched on the heating earlier than usual for tonight’s film. Although running to temperature, this is to compensate for a fault with the fans blowing heat into the auditorium itself. If this can’t be fixed theatre is considering their replacement.

#I'mStillHere - a superbly acted film, that lingers long in the memory had an 89% approval rating from our audience this week. Continuing our varied programme, next Tuesday's film #Flow is an immersive and exciting Oscar-winning animation. filmsinstafford.com

The power cut last week has left a problem with the heating in the Gatehouse auditorium. Apologies that it was again a little cool last night, albeit warmer than last week. The theatre has assured us that it is actively pursuing a solution and is working with engineers to solve the problem asap.

Don’t miss tomorrow's powerful Oscar-winning drama #I'mStillHere. A gripping true story of love, resilience and political resistance during Brazil’s dictatorship. An unforgettable portrait of courage in the face of silence. On the Gatehouse's big screen. #filmsinstafford

This week’s film #MrBurton was very well received by our audience, with a 98% approval rating. We are aware that the theatre was a little chilly, which we believe was due to an earlier power cut and hope that it didn’t spoil your enjoyment of the film.

Amongst the great variety of films we show, some have challenging themes. #TheGirlWithTheNeedle was one such film. Stunningly filmed in black and white, but with some distressing schemes, this divided our audience. 67% felt it was excellent/good but 25% described it as dreadful.

Yesterday's showing of The Salt Path had a more mixed reaction than our first two films, perhaps reflecting that of the critics. However, with an approval rating of 70% from our audience, most people liked it. Our next film, Cottontail ("A delicate gem of a film" The Observer) follows on 28th Oct.

Our second film of the season, The Count of Monte Cristo also received a 97% approval rating from our audience. Will The Salt Path (our most audience-requested film) make it a hat-trick of high ratings? www.gatehousetheatre.co.uk/whatson-even...

We are sorry but tonight’s showing of The Count of Monte Cristo is cancelled because of a technical issue at the Gatehouse

Really pleased that 160 people came to A Complete Unknown last week. Of those that voted after the film, 79% thought it was excellent and 18% good. Mike Leigh's Hard Truths should be another popular choice for tomorrow night. Tickets available in advance from The Gatehouse.

Last night's film, Ama Gloria, a heart-warming look at love and loss through the eyes of a child wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but most people enjoyed it. 21 said it was excellent, 23 good, 6 average, 2 poor and 1 dreadful. Looking forward to next week's film www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-FW...

Very sorry that we had to abandon the showing of Perfect Days because of problems with the sound equipment at the Gatehouse. We hoped that the film would be popular and this was confirmed by the large audience. So we will reschedule as soon as we can, if the theatre has a free evening available.
