Starfish

Dir. Bill Clark | UK | 95 min | 15

Starfish is the true and incredibly moving story of Tom and Nicola Ray (Tom Riley, Joanne Froggatt), whose love is tested to the limit when their perfect life falls apart.

When Tom puts his small daughter to bed one chilly December evening, he has everything he could ever want – the house of his dreams, the life of a writer, a beautiful wife and a second baby on the way. By the next morning all of this is in jeopardy as Tom succumbs to the devastating illness that is sepsis.

As Tom and Nic battle to hold their family and their marriage together, the strength of their relationship is the only thing that can save them.

★★★★ DAILY MAIL "Riley is terrific"

★★★★ MAIL ON SUNDAY "Brutally honest and very well acted"

★★★★ EMPIRE “poignant moments abound”

★★★★ TOTAL FILM “Tom Riley and Joanne Froggatt give it their all”

Before the film, we will have a short introduction from Melissa Mead, a local mother who lost her first son to sepsis aged just 12 months. Melissa has since launched a successful campaign to bring about changes to legislation in the hope of avoiding future deaths. She will give a brief introduction to the topic of sepsis and the journey she has been on thus far. @amotherwithout
