FUNNY COW (15) – 2017 UK 102 min – Croydon Comedy Festival screening
Tuesday 26 June 2018 at 7:30 pm
Director: Adrian Shergold
Stars: Maxine Peake, Paddy Considine, Stephen Graham
With a “funny bone for a back bone”, a survivor of domestic abuse finds strength through performing, and rises to stardom in the harsh environment of the Northern working men’s clubs. Peake delivers a wonderful synergy of tragedy and comedy, with strong support from Alun Armstrong and decent cameos from John Bishop, Corinne Bailey Rae and Vic Reeves together with a beautiful score by Richard Hawley. Despite its comedic billing, this is often a painful, angry film – but also an empowering British movie.
