Jay Kelly

Jay Kelly (15)

Thursday 27 Nov 20251:00pm4:00pm
George Clooney plays an actor reflecting on his life and career in Noah Baumbach’s latest, which also stars Adam Sandler and Laura Dern.

When Jay Kelly is honoured with a lifetime achievement award, he sets off on a trip across Europe with his ‘team’, including his beloved, but all-too-often undervalued, manager Ron. However, Jay soon realises you can only outrun your demons for so long. And he has more than his fair share of them. Baumbach delivers a pitch-perfect exploration of fame, fatherhood and the price of art.
The Fifth Step

The Fifth Step (15)

Thursday 27 Nov 20257:00pm

Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk) is joined by Emmy and BAFTA-winner Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Responder) in the critically acclaimed and subversively funny new play by David Ireland.


After years in the 12-step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous, James becomes a sponsor to newcomer Luka. The pair bond over black coffee, trade stories and build a fragile friendship out of their shared experiences. But as Luka approaches step five – the moment of confession – dangerous truths emerge, threatening the trust on which both of their recoveries depend.


Finn den Hertog directs the provocative and entertaining production filmed live from @sohoplace on London’s West End.

On September 25th 2025 the Riverside was 110 years old.


Our technical assistant, William Caley, has made a new film which looks back through the Riverside archive to when the cinema was built in 1915 and traces our 110 year history, and features a few recently newly filmed interviews with Pat Betts, Stuart Saunders and Tina Wiseman.


Our current manager, Neil, and Technical assistant, Will, have for the past few years been working on researching the cinema’s history and collecting all the material together to make a book (now available from the box office!), and this new documentary film.


Come along and celebrate our exciting and fascinating history for our 110th birthday.
