'The Twentieth Century' showtimes in London

Important Notice about Showtimes

After six years on the cinema scene, we’re sad to announce that WeLoveCinema will stop delivering showtimes and cease updating from Friday 4 August, 2023.

This wasn’t an easy decision, but we’re incredibly proud of what we achieved in that time, and are grateful for the experiences and opportunities that came our way.

What we think

To call it a parody would be diminutive to the breadth of Rankin’s ambition: there is nothing straightforward about this biopic, which presents the 10th Canadian Prime Minister’s life as though it were an inverse Hamilton.

What others think

The Twentieth Century is a weird melange of expressionist theatrics, monochrome and bleached-out colourisations (although it is not faux-silent in the Maddin style, and no scratches on the print), sometimes resembling a stage-play.
Peter Bradshaw The Guardian
The Twentieth Century will not be to everyone’s taste but for fans it is destined to become a cult classic.
Thomas Flew Sight & Sound
