Sweet Sue
15

Why watch?

“Comparisons will undoubtedly be drawn between Sweet Sue and the work of Leigh's parents (Alison Steadman and Mike Leigh) but if you set aside his connection to British Film royalty, Leigh's debut is an intriguing work in its own right, announcing a talent to watch. In particular, his incredible casting of O'Neill and the magnetic Trevaldwyn is inspired.”

Cat Lister,
Deputy Operations Manager

The feature debut of Leo Leigh follows fifty-something Sue (Maggie O'Neill - Shameless) as she returns to the dating scene.

Drama • British • Melancholic

When Sue meets a mysterious biker called Ron at her brother’s funeral, sparks begin to fly. But when she meets Ron’s social-media influencer son Anthony, Sue finds herself in an increasingly surreal battle of wills with his ambitions as he is convinced that his dance troupe ‘Electric Destiny’ is tipped for stardom.

Will she find the purpose and imagination to bring this little unconventional family together for a chance at happiness?

“A film with surprisingly zero dud notes for a first-time moviemaker.”
The Arts Desk

“With a strong lead performance from O’Neill and bittersweet humour throughout, Sweet Sue is a portrait of love in the modern age that doesn’t just appeal to the under 30s.”
