Blitz12A
During the nightly air raids of World War II, London mother Rita sends her nine-year-old son, George, to the countryside for safety. But determined to reunite with his family, George sets out on a daring journey back home. Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Steve McQueen (12 Years A Slave, Small Axe), this moving historical drama brings 1940s London to life in all its vibrant diversity, starring Saoirse Ronan, Kathy Burke, Stephen Graham, and Paul Weller.
Reviews
‘It’s a period documented, honoured, and reinterpreted a hundred times on screen before. Yet it’s what [Steve McQueen] sees and how he sees it, as one of Britain’s most extraordinary filmmakers, that makes Blitz feel monumental.’
★★★★★
Clarisse Loughery, The Independent
‘… A thrilling, moving, morally provoking odyssey through Britain at war, with a flock of vividly sketched supporting characters that buffet George from one adventure to the next.’
★★★★★

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!
