Reviews

‘Love becomes a game of percentages in this intriguing alt-world sci-fi drama.’
★★★★
James Mottram, Radio Times

‘There’s an endearing bizarreness to Fingernails… that allows him [Nikou] to grasp at some of the intricacies of the human condition, steeped in silences as much as heartfelt analysis.’
Carlos Aguilar, LA Times

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. 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!
