The Choir (PG)

Also known as Boychoir, this coming of age drama concerns a troubled 11-year-old who is farmed off to a singing academy for pre-pubescent boys, where tough-love choirmaster Dustin Hoffman awaits.

Ted 2 (15)

Mark Wahlberg reprises his role as a grown man in arrested development whose best friend is a foul-mouthed, pot-smoking talking teddy bear. Seth MacFarlane again writes and directs with an intent to shock.

P'Tit Quinquin (15)

Dour but brilliant French director Bruno Dumont, whose last film was the intense madhouse drama Camille Claudel 1915, tries his hand at comedy for the first time. A dead cow is discovered in a WWII bunker, stuffed with human remains.

Song of the Sea (PG)

Second film by animator Tomm Moore, after The Secret of Kells, is another hand-drawn tale inspired by Irish folklore. Brendan Gleeson is amongst the actors lending his voice.
