Julie Keeps Quiet12A

Directed by Leonardo Van Dijl | Belgium | 2024 | 1h 40m | Dutch & French w/ English subtitles | Starring Tessa Van den Broeck, Grace Biot, Laurent Caron, Alyssa Lorette, Noah Lecloux

Julie is the top player at a prestigious tennis academy, where her world revolves around the sport she loves. But when her coach is suspended amid a serious investigation, the club urges its athletes to come forward. Julie, however, chooses to stay silent. In his powerful debut film, director Leonardo van Dijl presents a gripping psychological drama that explores the hidden layers of abuse and its lasting impact.

Reviews

‘Julie Keeps Quiet is a tense, absorbing movie of silences and absences, of difficult terrain skirted around, of subjects avoided.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

‘This impressive debut feature — cold as a crypt and yet enormously sensitive all at once — is never framed like a mystery, or at least not like the mystery that you might expect from its premise.’
★★★★
David Ehrlich, IndieWire

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!
