Dragonfly

Andrea Riseborough and Brenda Blethyn are fantastic in this unsettling social-realist thriller.

Neglected pensioner Elsie finds an unexpected ally in her younger neighbour Colleen. Over time, Elsie gains a friend, and the troubled Colleen finds a fresh purpose in life as she shops, cleans and cares for her. It brings brighter days for both of them, until Elsie’s son starts to resent the way Colleen has occupied his mother’s life. Simmering tensions bring shocking consequences in a gripping human story straight from the heart of broken Britain.
