Come see Little Miss Sunshine presented on 35mm film on the big screen in L3!

Steve Carell and Toni Collette star in this charming coming of age dark comedy, also featuring a young Paul Dano and great performance from young Abigail Breslin as Olive, the girl whose dream of being a child beauty pageant queen sets the family on a cross-country trip in their campervan to make the dream a reality. The film deals with themes of depression, self-acceptance and finding meaning in chaos and is full of emotional scenes that will no doubt trigger a few tears in the audience. The film has become a cult classic, being widely critically acclaimed, with the performances of Alan Arkin and Abigail Breslin receiving academy award nominations for best supporting actor and best supporting actress, with Alan Arkin taking the award home for his performance as the slightly unhinged Edwin, Olive’s grandpa and beauty queen coach. The film was also a big commercial success on its release, garnering over $101.1 million on a budget of just $8 million. This film has a whole lot of heart, and it is definitely one to see if you haven’t already. All the performances are fantastic, and the writing and directing reflect the care and attention the whole crew put into this little film. The perfect way to spend a spring evening this term, and on 35mm none the less, I know I for one am excited to see this great film again on the big screen. [Marnie McCrudden]
