Nickel Boys12A
In 1960s America, a young man’s college aspirations are left in ruins when he is falsely convicted and sent to the Nickel Academy, a corrupt reform school in Florida. While incarcerated, he forms a bond with a fellow teenager who offers a glimmer of hope amidst the escalating trauma. With a distinct and innovative style, director RaMell Ross interprets Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel as an immersive and emotional exploration of America’s buried history. Nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Reviews
‘Nickel Boys is a masterpiece – moreover, it is a miracle. The defining American film of the 2020s.’
★★★★★
Sam Bodrojan, Little White Lies
‘There are outstanding performances here from Ellis-Taylor, Herisse and Wilson, and Jomo Fray’s cinematography and Nora Mendis’s production design are exceptional too. This is a survivor’s coming of age: tough, disillusioned, brilliant.’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, 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!
