Stick around cinema for ending with grandeur (9)
I believe the answer is:
climaxing
'ending with grandeur' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'stick around cinema' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'cling' (synonyms).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'cinema' becomes 'imax' (I've seen this before).
'cling' going around 'imax' is 'CLIMAXING'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
