Feat. Holliday Grainger, Alia Shawkat

“Its wild nature won’t be to everyone’s taste, but that’s sort of the point. It’s not a film that cares if you find these women charming or likable – it just cares that you believe them.”~The Guardian

Aroview: Raucous comedy with Holliday Grainger and Alia Shawkat brilliant together as best friends living in Dublin, whose hard partying lifestyle comes under scrutiny when one of them becomes engaged to an extremely sober concert pianist. Australian director Sophie Hyde (52 TUESDAYS) gets to the heart of the complexities of female friendships in this defiant portrait of quarter-life crises.
