The Lost Daughter15

Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal | USA | 2021 | 2h 2m | Starring Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Ed Harris, Peter Sarsgaard

Alone on a summer vacation in Italy, a college professor confronts the decisions of her past after meeting a mysterious young woman and her daughter. Adapted from a novel by Elena Ferrante, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s strikingly assured debut paints a lingering study of guilt, desire, and motherhood.

Reviews

‘An ambitious and taboo-tackling first feature with an atmosphere that lingers thanks to gutsy performances from Colman and Buckley.’
★★★★
Sophie Monks Kaufman, Little White Lies

‘A sophisticated, seductive, slightly unwieldy and often very sad study of the instability and upsets of motherhood.’
★★★★
Ella Kemp, Empire Magazine

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!
