Memoir Of A Snail15
Grace, a lonely misfit with a passion for collecting ornamental snails and a deep love of books, has faced a lifetime of hardships. But when she forms an unlikely and enduring friendship with Pinky, an eccentric elderly woman, hope and inspiration begin to shine through. Winner of Best Film at last year’s BFI London Film Festival and nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, Adam Elliot’s stop-motion animation is a poignant, heartfelt, and often hilarious portrait of an outsider discovering her confidence.
Reviews
Memoir of a Snail is not just a stop-motion animation that feels handmade from top to bottom. It tells a deeply human story about a hard-won route to happiness — with all the pain and missteps that go with it.’
★★★★
Kambole Campbell, Time Out
‘There’s an ingenuousness and innocence to Memoir of a Snail, a family-entertainment approachability that belies a strange intensity.’
★★★★
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 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!
