Went to see this yesterday, amazing acting by Olivia Coleman. Has anyone else seen it ? would be interested to know what you thought of it

I saw it on Wednesday and thought it was brilliant. So much depth in the characters. No doubt there’ll be some Oscars.

Oscars definitely deserved

Haven't seen it but would like to. I believe Sam Mendes based Olivia's character in his mum.

I'm looking forward to seeing this next week- Olivia Colman is amazing. It was filmed very close to where I live, and it caused quite a lot of disruption, but most of us loved the ( reflected) glory!

Unlike most people, I can't stand Olivia Coleman and what I perceive as her silly babyish simpering voice. Good actor she maybe but the voice just gets me, she uses it in everything she is in.

Is it just out? On netflix? (I don't go to cinemas nor signed up for sky cinema)

Yes, she is, she was all excitable on Graham Norton the other week. I'm glad I'm not the only one, she makes me cringe. It's the simpering that gets me.

Me too Yammy
