Respect12A

Dir. Liesl Tommy | USA | 2021 | 2h 25m | Starring Jennifer Hudson, Forest Whitaker, Audra McDonald

The true story of “Queen of Soul” Aretha Franklin’s life and career – from a child singing in her father’s church’s choir to international superstardom. Singer Jennifer Hudson serves up a powerhouse performance in this bold, crowd-pleasing biographical drama.

Reviews

‘As a platform for Hudson’s prodigious gifts – and as a vehicle through which to experience Aretha’s, again – it not only gets the job done, but it gains in potency and feeling.’ Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

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!
