The Shawshank Redemption is a patient character-led film night

The Shawshank Redemption fits an evening with room for a patient, complete drama. Its effect grows through routine, friendship and gradual change rather than constant incident. Reputation can make it an easy group nomination, but the film still deserves focused attention and enough time for its pace to work.
