JANET PLANET
Dir Annie Baker | USA | 2022 | 113 mins | Rated 12A | English
In rural Western Massachusetts, 11-year-old Lacy is an unapologetic oddball who sits awkwardly on the brink of adolescence. She spends the summer of 1991 at home, enthralled by her own imagination and the casual magnetism of her mother, Janet, whose curse, she says, is that she can make anyone fall in love with her. As the months pass, three visitors enter their orbit, all captivated by Janet. Lacy struggles to understand why her mother would need anyone but her in this exquisite account of a complex mother-daughter relationship.
Starring Julianne Nicholson, Zoe Ziegler

REVIEWS
"We understand every word and action here to have symbolic value, and Janet Planet is not afraid of its own artificiality." ★★★★ Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent
"Janet Planet plays a little like a memory piece from an unknown future – the assembled past life of an adult who, as a child, grasped only a bare majority of the tensions unfolding about her." ★★★★ Donald Clarke, Irish Times
"An exquisite and treasurable account of a complicated mother-daughter bond." ★★★★ Wendy Ide, Observer
"Nostalgic but never naff, Janet Planet fills the screen with warmth and compassion for its charming, flawed and very human characters." Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, AWFJ.org
ACCESSIBILITY
Subtitles
This film will be presented with Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH). In addition to reproducing dialogue, these subtitles include 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 most of our films are subtitled foreign language.
Hull Independent Cinema is working towards making our films more accessible. We have decided to present all our films with SDH where available.
Age Rating
JANET PLANET is rated 12A. Under 12s must be accompanied by an adult. 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.
