🌿💔 SENSE AND SENSIBILITY 💔🌿

Now Playing @ 🩷🖤 THE MAYFAIR 🖤🩷

Based on Jane Austin's iconic masterpiece.

When the Dashwood family loses its patriarch, three sisters and their widowed mother are forced to leave their family estate behind and start again in a humble cottage. As Elinor, Marianne and Margaret navigate romance, disappointment and an uncertain future, matters of the heart become tangled with the harsh realities of money, class and survival.

Forget picture-perfect period glamour. This is a more earthy, grounded take on Jane Austen’s beloved classic, exploring the raw emotions beneath the bonnets and ballgowns.

As The New York Times puts it, this is period drama with grit, heart and humanity.

🌿 Experience Sense and Sensibility on the big screen at The Mayfair.

🐋 WHALEFALL 🐋

Now Playing @ 🩷🖤 THE MAYFAIR 🖤🩷

80 feet long. 60 tons. One hour of oxygen. One very big problem.

Following the death of his father, Jay Gardiner (Austin Abrams) dives off the California coast to recover his remains. But when he’s swallowed whole by a massive s***m whale, his mission becomes a desperate fight for survival. Trapped inside the belly of one of the ocean’s giants, with his oxygen running out, Jay must find a way to escape before time runs out. Josh Brolin also stars in this gripping survival thriller.

And here in Kaikōura, we know just how awe-inspiring s***m whales can be. But Whalefall asks a terrifying question: what if one swallowed you whole?

🌊 Experience the fight for survival on the big screen. Just maybe think twice before your next dive…

THE SOCIAL RECKONING

Now Playing @ 🩷🖤 THE MAYFAIR 🖤🩷

Every revolution begins with a reckoning.

From Oscar-winning writer and director Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, A Few Good Men) comes a gripping new drama inspired by the true events behind one of the biggest stories in the history of social media.

Facebook engineer Frances Haugen and The Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz join forces to expose the social network's most closely guarded secrets, risking everything to reveal what was happening behind the screen.

Starring Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong, Betty Gilpin and Bill Burr, The Social Reckoning is a timely David and Goliath story about whistleblowing, journalism, technology and the enormous influence of the platforms we use every day.

You know the network.
Now see what was happening behind it.

🎟️🍿 See The Social Reckoning on the big screen and be part of the conversation.
