UK Premiere: Momo in Dubai (U*)

Family Film Week x Rewriting the Rules

,Cinema 2
A family stand in a city look forward at the view.

Come along for the first UK screening of this utterly charming family comedy.

When Momo’s father can’t get time off from work to visit his family in Kerala, he instead invites them all to visit him in UAE for a month. 

7 year old Momo is delighted as he misses his dad and is desperate to visit the Burj Khalifa – the tallest skyscraper in the world. The reality of the holiday, however, is a little different to the glamourous plans he’d imagined – but Momo is determined to enjoy himself one adventure at a time! This delightfully zany comedy is anchored by a brilliant lead performance. 

Why not make a day of it at the Barbican, scroll down to see what we have going on around the Centre that day.
