Reviews

‘A playful, imaginative approach to its metaphorical structure and its ultimate faith in human nature.’
★★★★
Elena Lazic, The Playlist

‘A wild coming-of-age horror fantasy pitched somewhere between the classic triumvirate of Carrie, Ginger Snaps and Raw.’
Alan Jones, Radio 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 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!
