Sisters
Disgruntled about their parents selling the family home, siblings Maura (Amy Poehler) and Kate (Tina Fey) decide to throw one last party as a tribute to their youth, which seems like a good idea until things get a little out of hand. In cinemas from January 7.

Brooklyn
This girl-meets-boy story isn't your average romance film. Adapted from a novel for the screen by Nick Hornby, Saoirse Ronan plays Eilis, a small-town Irish girl who immigrates to Brooklyn, New York, where she finds all that she was looking for at home. In cinemas from January 21.
