Full Time12A

Directed by Eric Gravel | France | 2021 | 1h 28m | French w/ English subtitles | Starring Laure Calamy, Anne Suarez, Geneviève Mnich, Nolan Arizmendi, Cyril Gueï

A single mother juggles caring for her two children with working a gruelling job as a chambermaid in a five-star Parisian hotel. Literally running from dawn to sunset, she’s on the verge of a nervous breakdown. So when she’s offered a job interview, she jumps at the opportunity – but fate has other plans. Laure Calamy (Call My Agent!) gives an exceptional performance in this pulse-pounding thriller concerning the stresses of modern life’s daily hustle. Horizons Award winner for Best Actress and Best Director at Venice Film Festival 2021.

Reviews

‘An expertly engineered kuckle-gnawer, with a stunning central turn. If you see this one playing at your local cinema…don’t think twice’
★★★★
David Jenkins

‘Watching the picture is a bit like getting your head clamped in a vice. Allow time to decompress afterward.’
★★★★
Wendy Ide, The Observer

Plan your visit

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!
