This week at Harbor Theater
“The Quiet Girl” - (PG13; 1 hour, 34 minutes) - Rural Ireland. 1981. Nine-year-old Cait is sent away from her overcrowded, dysfunctional family to live with foster parents for the summer. Quietly struggling at school and at home, she has learned to hide in plain sight from those around her. She blossoms in their care, but in this house where there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers one painful truth. Final two shows at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 5 and Thursday, April 6.
“The Lost King” - (PG13; 1 hour, 48 minutes) - In 2012, after having been lost for over 500 years, the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a car park in Leicester. The search had been orchestrated by an amateur historian, Philippa Langley, whose unrelenting research had been met with incomprehension by her friends and family and with skepticism by experts and academics. “The Lost King” is the life-affirming true story of a woman who refused to be ignored and who took on the country’s most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about one of the most controversial kings in England’s history. Screens Friday, April 7, Saturday, April 8, Wednesday, April 12 and Thursday, April 13; Sunday, April 9 at 2 p.m.
“Friars [director], who has enjoyed an illustrious career, once again achieves excellent work, the performances are impeccable, and this story of a lost King proves to be a riveting yarn.” – David Stratton, The Australian
