Hurrah, the Ventnor Film Society is back and have a brilliant lineup over the coming months.
The season kicks off with Little Miss Sunshine, an indie comedy drama that radiates warmth and charm.
Brazenly satirical and yet deeply human, the film introduces audiences to one of the most endearingly fractured families in recent cinema history.
Greg Kinnear is wonderfully woe-begone as the success-obsessed patriarch leading his family cross-country in order to enter daughter Olive into a junior beauty pageant.
The result is comic mayhem, looking not only at death and transformation but also the surprising rewards of being losers in a winning- crazed culture.
A runaway hit at the Sundance Film Festival, where it played to standing ovations.
