Good One15
Seventeen-year-old Sam sets out on a three-day backpacking trip in the Catskills with her father and his oldest friend. As the two men slip into a familiar rhythm of friendly bickering and unresolved tension, Sam tries to keep the peace. But when boundaries are crossed and her trust is broken, the quiet harmony of the trip gives way to simmering conflict. In her perceptive feature debut, India Donaldson channels the subtle emotional depth of filmmakers like Kelly Reichardt and Céline Sciamma, offering a sharp exploration of power, trust, and the fragile dynamics between family.

Reviews
‘What unfolds is both intensely compelling and almost impossible to describe.’
★★★★
Kevin Maher, The Times
‘This excellent film from first-time director India Donaldson is a smart, sympathetic and terrifically acted drama about 17-year-old Sam — an outstanding performance from Lily Collias.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

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!
