How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies12A

Directed by Pat Boonnitipat | Thailand | 2024 | 2h 6m | Thai w/ English subtitles | Starring Putthipong Assaratanakul, Usha Seamkhum, Sanya Kunakorn, Sarinrat Thomas, Tontawan Tantivejakul

Motivated by the promise of a multimillion-dollar inheritance, a young college dropout sets aside his dream of becoming a professional gamer to care for his terminally ill grandmother. However, winning the favour of his sharp-witted grandmother proves far more challenging than he anticipated—especially since he isn’t the only one vying for her approval. A box office sensation in Southeast Asia, Pat Boonnitipat’s captivating feature debut is an emotional, intergenerational drama brought to life by outstanding lead performances.

Reviews

‘An audience-pleasing tear-jerker that set box-office records across southeast Asia, this heartfelt comedy drama is Thailand’s official submission for the Oscars.’
★★★★
Kevin Maher, The Times

‘A beautifully-judged and performed dramedy that’s sentimental without ever being saccharine.’ 
★★★★
Josh Slate-Williams, Little White Lies

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!
