This week at the Harbor Theater
"Song Sung Blue" - (PG-13; 2 hours, 13 minutes) - A warm, crowd-pleasing comedy-drama inspired by the true story behind Neil Diamond’s iconic hit. Directed by Greg Kohs, the film stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson (who deliver charismatic performances), as a married couple whose lives take an unexpected turn when they reinvent themselves as a Neil Diamond tribute act. Struggling to reconnect after years of routine and disappointment, the pair finds new purpose—and renewed intimacy—by stepping onto the stage together, performing Diamond’s music for small-town audiences across the Midwest. What begins as a quirky side hustle becomes a heartfelt journey of rediscovery, testing their marriage while reminding them why they fell in love in the first place. Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2 p.m. (OCAP) and Thursday, Feb. 12, 7 p.m.
"The Choral" - (R; 1 hour, 53 minutes) - Set in 1916, the film unfolds in Ramsden, Yorkshire, where the First World War has drained the local choral society of most of its men. Determined to carry on, the group’s ambitious committee recruits teenage boys to fill the gaps and hires a new chorus master: Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes), a driven and enigmatic musician recently returned from Germany. As conscription notices begin to arrive and suspicion swirls around Guthrie’s past, the community grapples with fear, loss, and uncertainty. In the face of war’s upheaval, they discover that making music together offers solace, resilience, and a sense of unity. Reuniting director Nicholas Hytner and writer Alan Bennett, "The Choral" is a moving exploration of art, courage, and community during one of history’s most turbulent moments. Playing at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13; Saturday, Feb. 14, Thursday, Feb. 19; at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15 and on Wednesday, Feb. 18 at 2 p.m. (OCAP) and 7 p.m.
“A quiet and consistent pleasure: an unsentimental but deeply felt drama which subcontracts actual passion to the music of Elgar and leaves us with a heartbeat of wit, poignancy and common sense.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"Out Of Africa" - Valentine to Robert Redford -(1985; PG; 2 hours, 41 minutes) - Join us for one of Hollywood’s great love stories as we honor the extraordinary career of Robert Redford (1936–2025) with Out of Africa (1985). Based on a true story, the film stars Meryl Streep as Karen Blixen, a Danish baroness who builds a life in early 20th-century colonial Kenya, shaped by hardship, beauty, and a sweeping romance with Denys Finch-Hatton, played by Redford. Filmed largely on location in Kenya, the story’s intimacy was mirrored off-screen, where Streep and Redford formed a bond of mutual respect that translated into the film’s unforgettable chemistry — a collaboration both actors later described with deep admiration and trust. One show only! Valentine’s Day: Saturday, Feb. 14, 2 p.m. Enjoy a complimentary chocolate truffle, courtesy of Harbor Theater.
“There comes a time in movie addicts' lives when their souls cry out for the kind of film that can fill the screen with magnificent vistas, grand passions and charismatic actors. That's why the arrival of Out of Africa is cause for cheering.” – Bob Thomas, Associated Press
