An adverb because it describes when the film started and started is the verb in the sentence.
It would be an adjective if you said "We went to the late film." becuase then it would be describing the film itself, which is a noun.

adverb: An adverb is a word that adds information to a verb, an adjective, or an adverb
adjective: a word that expresses an attribute of something
is a part of speech which modifies a noun, usually making its meaning more specific.
late is describing the start of the film (which is a verb) not the film itself so it's an adverb.

Adverb, because it describes the verb.
