Reviews

‘The charm — the midsummer enchantment — never feels forced; it steals up and wins you. A true romance.’
★★★★
Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

‘Out of this melancholy scenario comes an honest but affectionate portrait of an amorphous romance – not to mention one of the most tantalising and ingenious endings in all cinema.’
Ryan Gilbey, The Guardian

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!
