The Lesson

Liam, an aspiring and ambitious young writer, eagerly accepts a tutoring position at the family estate of his idol, renowned author J.M. Sinclair. But soon, Liam realizes that he is ensnared in a web of family secrets, resentment, and retribution. Sinclair, his wife Hélène, and their son Bertie all guard a dark past, one that threatens Liam’s future as well as their own.

“Richard E. Grant deserves an Oscar nomination for The Lesson. The film is a devious little thriller, and his performance is beyond perfect…Director Alice Troughton makes a stunning feature debut.” (The Aisle Seat)

“It’s beautifully acted — Grant is one of our greatest living actors and McCormack is one of our most exciting new ones…We need more films like these in theaters.” (The Mercury News)

“A study in excellence…one of the most fascinating films you will see this year.” (Cultured Vultures)

“Thrilling and darkly comedic” (Tribeca Film Festival)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
