War Pony15
Set on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, a naturalistic look at the lives of two young Oglala Lakota men who find themselves torn between the traditions of their tribe and the modern American culture that surrounds them. Directed and produced by actor Riley Keough (Zola) and collaborator Gina Gammell, this award-winning coming-of-age drama is a beautiful portrait of young Native American life. Golden Camera (Best Debut) Award winner at Cannes Film Festival 2022.
Reviews
‘The non-professional cast, drawn from the community in which these interlocking, quasi-mythic tales of manhood in the making are set, is rooted, real and persuasive.’
★★★★
Wendy Ide, The Observer
‘The rangy, inquisitive screenplay… doesn’t artificially intertwine this pair’s life stories. Instead, it simply allows them to play out in tandem, inviting us to spot the reflections and echoes.’
★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

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!
