In 1993 one Welsh town had a hell of a fight on it's hands, a fight to save their cinema. Hairdresser Liz Evans campaign's against the closure of Carmarthen's Lyric Theatre against the plans of the towns corrupt mayor and what follows is a true story and a feel-good story, full of drama, laugh's and heart warming inspirational moments.
The cast which includes; Samantha Morton, Tom Felton, Wynne Evans, Rhod Gilbert, Erin Richards and Jonathan Pryce are so good and these fantastic actors stood out the most to me and I also enjoyed Susan Wokoma as Dolly who provided a lot of the comic relief in this film.
The locations are gorgeous and of course they would be it's the green, green grass of my home aha. This film makes you appreciate the sense of community and community spirit with how the story and the length of Liz Evans and her family and what they went through to keep this pillar and landmark to still be standing to this day in the heart of one welsh town. Kudos to the non Welsh actors in this cast as their accents are also brilliant and pretty spot on and I for one was entertained and smiling wholesomely at them all and at this film and story overall. Not to give much away but this cinema was saved thanks to someone pretty big in Hollywood with one iconic cinema classic blockbuster from 1993 which helped saved the Lyric thanks to headstrong Liz Evans.

| I watched this lovely film with my girlfriend in Neath's Gwyn Hall Cinema along with a small crowd (due to current covid restrictions). We both really enjoyed this film and left the cinema smiling and feeling good and we would love for more people to see this film. |
Brilliant feel-good film
You can watch this film on Sky and see it in some UK cinemas too.
I hope to visit Carmarthen one day and to see The Lyric Theatre in person too!
Thanks for visiting my blog, I hope you too watch this film and enjoy it as much as I did.
Stay Shiny!
