Lotterywest Festival Films :: Irina Palm
Has the straightforward potency of a break-through hit, like The Crying Game, My Left Foot and Mrs Henderson Presents ... Marianne Faithfull's voice and subsiding visage give it reality, weight and moral strength
ENCORE
A moving film about how far people go for their loved ones, and where, if anywhere, we should stop, to do the right thing

In this endearing and surprisingly funny film Marianne Faithfull transforms herself into Maggie, a middle-class, middle-aged frump.
Desperate to get together enough money to pay for her grandson's medical expenses, she takes a job at Sexy World in London's seedy Soho.
Expertly mixing pathos with comedy, director Sam Garbarski hits exactly the right tone thanks to the wonderful performance from Faithfull and a finely-calibrated, low-key script.
