Welcome to our feature What's on at Watermans this week? rounding up the current cinema, theatre and gallery listings on at Brentford's riverside arts centre.

Tori and Lokita

The outstanding new film from acclaimed filmmakers the Dardenne brothers is an absolutely stunning piece of work. Following a young boy (Tori) and a teenage girl (Lokita) who have left their home countries of Cameroon and Benin to make a new life in Belgium, we follow their journey as they navigate a range of difficult and challenging experiences.

Whether it be finding jobs on the black market or working to send money back to their families, their friendship provides an unbreakable bond that helps them survive.

Hoping to get their papers to remain in the country, they soon find that there are an array of forces stacked against them. They must fight for both their friendship and their lives as their world slowly begins to crumble.

Clinging to the hope of a better life, their struggle is a gripping testament to the power of the human spirit and the courage of their relationship.

She Said

Two-time Academy Award® nominee Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman) and Emmy nominee Zoe Kazan (The Big Sick) star as New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, who together broke one of the most important stories in a generation— a story that shattered decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood and impelled a shift in American culture that continues to this day.

The Passenger of the Night

On election night in 1981, celebrations spill out onto the streets and there is an air of hope and change throughout Paris. But for Elisabeth (Charlotte Gainsbourg), her marriage is coming to an end and she will now have to support herself and her two teenage children. She finds work in a late-night radio show and encounters Talulah, a troubled teenager whom she invites into her home. With them, Talulah experiences the warmth of a family for the first time.

Home Alone

All Kevin McCallister wants for Christmas is for his family to disappear. So, when he wakes to discover that they have accidentally left for their Christmas trip without him and that his wish has come true, he does what any kid would do - he parties!

But when he learns that two burglars with a Christmas list of their own are working their way up the block, he is forced to defend the family home on his own and sets about decking the halls with ingenious traps to hold the thieves at bay until his relatives come home.

Christmas with the 3 Billy Goats Gruff

An interactive family treat with a delightful festive twist. The classic fairytale of Three Billy Goats Gruff is magically brought to life through Swedish carols, live music and beautifully crafted puppets.

What happens on Christmas Eve when the Troll is fishing for his dinner...? Join Garlic Theatre by a little stream in Sweden to find out!

An ideal first theatrical experience for the very young.
