REVIEW  |  TRAILER

Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play returns to cinemas.

Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending; cross examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.

Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game.

Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live in 2022 during a sold out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End.

Doris Wallace is a tabloid columnist and reviewer with a talent for scathing insults and career assassination.

She is being sued for libel by the actress Trudi Hobson, after writing an article which attacked the thespian with accusations of tiny talent and massive thighs.

The queen of viciousness isn't worried: she's got a big job offer, plans for a new television show, and the ample cleavage to help the judge see things her way.

But she's about to discover that even journalists can't escape reaping what they have sown…

One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam (Andrew Scott) has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbour Harry (Paul Mescal), which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.

Cast: Jamie Bell, Carter John Grout, Paul Mescal, Andrew Scott

Director(s): Andrew Haigh

Runtime: 106

Certification: 15

When the new Earl of Hareford is revealed to be Bill Snibson, a common cockney from Lambeth, the aristocratic family battle to turn him into a gentleman and separate him from his equally unsuitable girlfriend.

Featuring well known songs including The Lambeth Walk and The Sun has got his Hat On, this popular musical comedy is a heart-warming tale of love triumphing over class boundaries.
