A defining day unfolds for a headteacher and his students at a last-chance reform school. As he struggles to save the school from closure and preserve its integrity, he must also confront his own mental health battles. Set in the mid-1990s, this moving adaptation of Max Porter’s Sunday Times bestseller ‘Shy’, starring Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy and directed by the director of Small Things Like These.
Reviews
‘A drama suffused with gonzo energy and the death-metal chaos of emotional pain, cut with slashes of bizarre black humour… Murphy himself gives one of his most uninhibited and demonstrative performances.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
‘A profoundly moving and superbly acted diamond in the rough, “Steve” is better than anything the streamer has pushed for best picture to date.’
Peter Debruge, Variety

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!
