FAMILY MATINEE
Dir: Tom McGrath | Country USA Year 2017 |97 mins Cast | Miles Christopher Bakshi, Alec Baldwin, Eric Bell Jr. DreamWorks Animation invite you to meet a most unusual baby who wears a suit, speaks with the voice and wit of Alec Baldwin, and stars in the animated comedy, DreamWorks’ The Boss Baby. The Boss Baby is a hilariously universal story about how a new baby’s arrival impacts a family, told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator, a wildly imaginative 7 year old named Tim. The Boss Baby is an authentic and broadly appealing original comedy for all ages.

Reflecting on the life, work and character of this remarkable woman, Oelbaum and Krayenbühl weave together a rich tapestry of fascinating archive alongside Bell’s writings, letters to her parents voiced by Tilda Swinton, and testimony from peers including TE Lawrence and Vita Sackville-West. Though writing a century ago, the acute contemporary relevance of Bell’s words is astonishing – at times even chilling.
