Drive-Away Dolls15

Directed by Ethan Coen | USA | 2023 | 1h 24m | Starring Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Beanie Feldstein, Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo, Matt Damon

Uninhibited free spirit Jamie finds herself regretting her breakup with her girlfriend. Meanwhile, her demure friend Marian is in desperate need of relaxation. Seeking a fresh start, they spontaneously decide to head out on a road trip to Tallahassee. However, their plans take an unexpected turn when they encounter a group of inept criminals. A riotously funny road-movie comedy co-written and directed by Ethan Coen, one half of the creative duo behind Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and Oscar Best Picture winner No Country For Old Men.

Reviews

‘Riotously funny from start to finish. It’s as solid a comedy as the Coens ever made together. A future midnight screening staple’
★★★★
Esther Rosenfield, Little White Lies

‘A wild detour chock-a-block with wild detours, Drive-Away Dolls comes from an artist regaining his capacity to take pleasure in the process’
★★★★
Charles Bramesco, The Guardian

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 only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
