Based on the graphic novel by Lauren Redniss, with an adapted screenplay from Bristol-born Jack Thorne (The Aeronauts), a brilliant central performance from the UK’s Rosamund Pike elevates this thoughtful drama. With outstanding support from Brits Sam Riley, Anya Taylor-Joy and Simon Russell Beale, the film was co-produced by Working Title Films and Shoebox Films.
