Stan and Ollie clip – plus a new poster
Stan & Ollie won over audiences at the festival, a worthy closer to a great ten days or so in the capital watching films. If you’re unfamiliar with the story of the film, here’s an official recap.
The true story of Hollywood’s greatest comedy double act, Laurel and Hardy, is brought to the big screen for the first time. Starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as the legendary movie icons, Stan & Ollie is the heart-warming story of what would become the pair’s triumphant farewell tour.
With their golden era long behind them, the pair embark on a variety hall tour of Britain and Ireland. Despite the pressures of a hectic schedule, and with the support of their wives Lucille (Shirley Henderson) and Ida (Nina Arianda) – a formidable double act in their own right – the pair’s love of performing, as well as for each other, endures as they secure their place in the hearts of their adoring public.

In our original review (link above), Andrew said:
Stan & Ollie is pretty much as you’d expect it to be; a well performed and sympathetic look at two comedy legends, one which is content to tick the boxes and celebrate the legacy of the figures at its center. It can be a little pedestrian, but there is something winning about the bittersweet approach, with Coogan and Reilly more than up to the task of donning the famous bowler hats.
