Luna Leederville

Arrivals 6:00pm for 6:30pm session
Q&A post-screening

Nick (JAI COURTNEY), affable heir to a wealthy rural landowner, discovers his fiancée, Kori (EMILY BROWNING), is cheating on him and wants nothing more than to just fix the problem. One night, he captures a rogue Fox (OLIVIA COLMAN), and she offers him a trade-off: if Nick lets her live, the Fox will help him save his relationship.

All he has to do is push Kori into a magic hole with the power to change her into the perfect partner. Nick follows the Fox’s advice and the Kori who re-emerges seems to be everything he ever wanted. Until her strange new quirks make him question his decision.

Featuring an all-star cast headed by Jai Courtney and Emily Browning, including Damon Herriman and Miranda Otto, and with the voices of Olivia Colman and Sam Neill.

Screening at Luna Leederville and Luna on SX from Thursday November 26.
