REVIEWS
"Bolstered by the resilient spirit of New York City, this is one of the loveliest movies that you will see this year, animated or otherwise." Tomris Laffly, TheWrap

"This lovely, ultimately heartbreaking story about the power of connection and painful absurdities of fate is all the more amazing for being told with no dialogue or title cards… a wistful work of animated art." ★★★★★ Laura Clifford, Reeling Reviews

"Genius filmmaker Pablo Berger has made a thoroughly grown-up movie that has something important to say to children too. It deserves to become a cult classic." ★★★★★ Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

"For those open to a more contemplative film that’s not afraid to be silly, Robot Dreams is a rewarding animated experience." Daniel Howat, Next Best Picture

ACCESSIBILITY
This film will be presented with Descriptive Subtitles. Please read on for more information.

Hull Independent Cinema is working towards creating more accessibility for our audiences. HIC have decided to present all our films with descriptive subtitles, where available.

Descriptive subtitles refer to subtitles intended for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. They are also known as HOH (Hard of Hearing) subtitles or SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing). These subtitles are a transcription rather than a just translation; in addition to reproducing dialogue, they aim to describe additional non-dialogue sounds available to a hearing audience, e.g. “(sighs)” or “(door creaks)” and song lyrics. In our experience, guests do not find the subtitles distracting, especially as the majority of our films are subtitled foreign language films.

RATING
Robot Dreams is rated PG. Some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. For more information, please see the film's page on the BBFC website.

Programme Details
The venue is open all day, so why not come along early to grab a drink and a snack? The programme run time includes an allowance for introductions and up to three trailers. While we will endeavour to accommodate latecomers, this may not always be possible. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse entry, without a refund, to anyone arriving after the advertised start time.

Please note the pedestrian entrance to Princes Quay is either via the Quayside entrance (next to Nandos) or via the footpath from Waterhouse Lane / Bonus Arena. Both entrances off Carr Lane are closed after 6pm. The car park entrance remains unaffected.
