Picturehouse Entertainment and Element Distribution have released a new trailer for the female-driven drama Herself. The film is directed by Phyllida Lloyd (The Iron Lady) and co-written by Clare Dunne who also stars in what is her feature debut, alongside Harriet Walter (Killing Eve, Succession). After receiving its world premiere to critical acclaim at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, it will have its UK premiere at the London Film Festival on 8th October before being released theatrically on 16th October 2020.
The film follows the story of Sandra (Clare Dunne), who on the surface of it, is a young Mum struggling to provide her two young daughters with a warm, safe, happy home to grow up in. Beneath the surface, Sandra has a steely determination to change their lives for the better and when it becomes clear that there are no other options left to her, she decides to build it herself from scratch, drawing together a community of friends to support her. Supporting cast includes Conleth Hill (Game of Thrones) and Cathy Belton (Philomena).
Herself was co-written by Clare Dunne and Malcolm Campbell (What Richard Did). Check out the new trailer below.
