Boxing Day films were once an event. We even left the house to see them. In the past, we had Olivia Colman in British historic drama The Favourite (2018), Hugh Jackman in the crowd-pleasing The Greatest Showman (2017), various Lords of the Rings and Hobbits – even Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats (2019).
Last year, there were no big action releases and we had to content ourselves with smaller fare: The Banshees of Inisherin, The Lost King, Triangle of Sadness (excellent, by the way) and Whitney Houston: I Want To Dance With Somebody. For younger cinemagoers there was Puss In Boots: The Last Wish and Matilda the Musical.
