Pixie
Available on
Oldham-born Olivia Cooke is the shining star at the centre of Pixie, a quick-witted heist movie paying homage to both Tarantino and the McDonagh brothers. The film is worth watching for her spellbinding performance alone, but the luminous Irish landscape (the film was mostly shot in Belfast) and captivating cameos (hello Alec Baldwin) make this a pretty good deal.
