i really hate my job - the blog

On November 15th the new cinemas at Eden Court Theatre will re-open with the 5th Inverness Film Festival.

“We have a great programme this year with a line up from around the world, and we are especially delighted to have the Scottish premiere of I Really Hate My Job”, says Festival Co-Director, Paul Taylor.

“At last years festival we had Oliver Parker’s previous film Fade To Black, which had a great reception from Inverness festival goers, so he’s really become a favourite director of ours and are thrilled that he will be able to come along to a Q&A after the screening”.

The first country to open I Really Hate My Job is Romania to great box office and wonderful reviews such as:

The Bucharest “A brilliant film”

Fresh in from Steve Clare the Glaswegian editor of PROST AMERIKA! - the German Language Arts and Culture Guide to events in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.

Our coverage of the recent Seattle International Film Festival was both extensive and widely praised. 

The PROSKARS are PROST AMERIKA!’s recognition of excellence at SIFF and are based on reviews of over 55 films.

I am therefore very happy to inform you that Shirley Henderson has been nominated for a PROSKAR in the Category of Best Actress at the Seattle International Film Festival.

I Really Hate My Job (6/8), a breezy little comedy that takes place in one evening within the confines of one restaurant. It is ensemble comedy with great performances all around by Shirley Henderson, Alexandra Maria Lara, Neve Campbell, Anna Maxwell Martin, and Oana Pellea. There is chaos in the kitchen as Alice (Henderson) has to fill in for the chef, and there is chaos out on the floor as Abi (Campbell) is having a 30th birthday meltdown. In the meantime, there is a dinner reservation for a movie star, and the anticipation of this brush-with-greatness is putting them all on edge. The writing is sharp, fast, and funny, and Henderson and Oana Pellea (as the dish washer) are particularly hilarious in their claustrophobic kitchen interplay.
