But as their carefully crafted plan unravels, the past threatens to destroy everything they’ve built.

Reviews

‘A musical for our time indeed.’
★★★★★
Kevin Maher, The Times

‘“Emilia Pérez” emerges as a powerful, unfiltered portrait of someone who challenges several stereotypes at once. That’s a testament to leading lady Karla Sofía Gascón and the audacity of Audiard.’
Peter Debruge, Variety

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!
