Reviews

‘In two hours Miyazaki offers more magic and innovation than most animators could manage in over two decades.’
★★★★★
Jamie Russell, BBC

‘Magical is a word used casually about films like this, films about fantasy and childhood. Yet this one really does deserve it.’
★★★★★
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 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!
