THU 29 June 18:00 Odeon 2 SAT 1 July 11:00 Filmhouse 1 PRICE: £12.00 (£8.00 concs) Warm-hearted canine family fun. A glorious tale of youthful adventure in the outback as a young boy and an Australian Kelpie sheep dog become the best of friends. This beautifully shot prequel (to 2011 hit film Red Dog) is a gem of a family film. Bookended with clever references to the original film, this new version heads back to the late 1980s with 11-year-old Mick (Levi Miller) sent to live with his stern farmer grandfather (a wonderful Bryan Brown) on a vast cattle station. He bonds with a cute puppy he finds covered in blue mud after a storm, and the pair embark on a series of great adventures amidst the stunning Aussie landscape. [U]

Eleven years later, Ben goes to spend the summer with his grandparents, hanging out with Priti, the girl next door, and his wayward cousin, Jed. Priti is a livewire and a Muslim who gradually begins to suspect her older brother is a terrorist. The trio set out to investigate and uncover more than they expected in this family film. Featuring Alison Steadman and Phil Davis as Ben’s grandparents. [PG]
