The Keeper (15)

Great film, got a clap at the end.

A very poignant story of the war, peoples attitudes towards Germans and how a young man made a new life for himself in Britain after the war. Very amusing in places but very sad in others. Well worth watching.

This is a true story about a German paratrooper interned in Northern England after WW2 who became a renowned professional footballer. It is NOT a sports bio-pic. It is a story of prejudice, love, forgiveness, redemption and acceptance. Utterly engrossing and engaging. One of our highest rated showings. As might be expected from the footballing fraternity there is plenty of effing and blinding but also plenty of humour.

Everyone we asked at the end of the night thought The Keeper was a brilliant film.

An excellent film, moving and heart warming.

A very uplifting story telling how one man through his love of football overcame abuse and prejudice to become a hero for Manchester City in the 1950's.

Brilliant first half!

One of the best films we have shown for 2-3 years
