Raging Grace15

Directed by Paris Zarcilla | UK | 2023 | 1h 40m | Starring Max Eigenmann, Jaeden Paige Boadilla, Leanne Best, David Hayman, Seb Yates Cridland

An undocumented Filipina cleaner moves from house to house with her daughter as she tries to save up enough money to gain a UK visa. When she secures a position as a care-worker for a wealthy, terminally ill man, it appears she may have found a path to a better life. However, this veneer of security shatters as dark secrets lurk beneath the surface. Socially conscious drama meets Gothic mystery in Paris Zarcilla’s thematically complex and atmospheric debut. Grand Jury Award winner at SXSW Film Festival 2023.

Reviews

‘Grace is the film’s hidden ace — almost its mascot, playful and mischievous, with more to her than meets the eye.’
★★★★
Tom Shone, The Times

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!
