Weekly Regal Round-Up: Fri 6th – Thurs 12th Aug
A weekly round-up of what’s on and must sees at Henley’s fabulous three screen cinema, The Regal Picturehouse in Borama Way.
It’s a new week at the Regal, and that means fresh releases, including a lush literary adaptation and a tense drama inspired by real events:
Adapted from Jojo Moyes’ best-selling novel, THE LAST LETTER FROM YOURLOVER(12A) is a passionate, dual-narrative love story set in the French Riviera and London during the 1960s and present day. It tells the tale of elegant Jennifer (Shailene Woodley) and how her life becomes inextricably interwoven with that of Ellie (Felicity Jones) in life-changing events which connect them across almost half a century.

Confronted with language barriers, cultural differences, and a complicated legal system, Bill makes it his mission to exonerate his daughter.
