Reviews

‘The film makes a case that Ravilious should be regarded, alongside the likes of Turner and Constable, as one of Britain’s great landscape artists.’
★★★★
Wendy Ide, The Observer

‘This fine overview does convince you of his singularity, while also coaxing you into the sunlit, subtly clouded uplands of his lost world.’
★★★★
Tim Robey, the Telegraph

We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
