Tamara Drewe

Based on the graphic novel by British cartoonist Posy Simmonds, adapted by the UK’s Moira Buffini (Jane Eyre, The Dig), this romantic romp is a collage of satire, sadness, silliness, wit and warmth, aided by a talented British cast - Gemma Arterton, Dominic Cooper, Luke Evans, Tamsin Greig, Jessica Barden - and judicious direction from the UK’s Stephen Frears (Philomena).
