Baltimore15

Directed by Joe Lawlor & Christine Molloy | Ireland/UK | 2023 | 1h 38m | Starring Imogen Poots, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, Lewis Brophy, Jack Meade, Patrick Martins

Set against the backdrop of the political turmoil of the 1970s, an English heiress decides to reject her life of wealth and privilege. At university, she begins to develop a radical affinity with the IRA, a sympathy that eventually leads to a violent armed raid on an country estate. A bold and thrilling psychological portrait based on the true story of Rose Dugdale, brought to life by Irish filmmakers Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor (Rose Play Julie).

Reviews

‘A fascinating psychological study of fanaticism, with Poots’s expressive performance unpeeling the layers beneath Dugdale’s fervent belief in her cause.’
★★★★
Wendy Ide, The Observer

‘A meaty, multifaceted role for the perennially underrated Imogen Poots. The filmmakers have a thrilling grasp of their politically and philosophically rich material.’ 
★★★★
David Jenkins, Little White Lies

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!
