WORLD PREMIERE SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL 2024
EUROPEAN PREMIERE BERLIN FILM FESTIVAL 2024

A film by Rose Glass
Produced by Andrea Cornwell, Oliver Kassman
A24 / Film4

Starring Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian, Ed Harris, Jena Malone, Dave Franco and Anna Baryshnikov

A romance fuelled by ego, desire and the American Dream.

SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL: Following her critically acclaimed first feature Saint Maud, Rose Glass makes her Sundance Film Festival debut with a bombastic, larger-than-life sophomore effort. An off-the-wall, rambunctious lesbian love story crashes into a family drama of the darkest ilk in this muscular thriller. As a small-town gym and a ravine just outside city limits become the playground for all flavors of mischief and mayhem, a heightened Americana sensibility and Glass’ deliciously distinctive, bold style create a world that is at once familiar and entirely fresh. Helmed by Sundance regular Kristen Stewart (Speak, Adventureland, Certain Women) and Katy M. O’Brian, Love Lies Bleeding is somehow as sweetly romantic about loyalty as it is doggedly hedonistic. With a vaulting imagination and its roots in deeply human places, this film packs a gut punch unlike any other.—AH

Limited Series for APPLE TV+. Launched May 2022. Nominated for 3x BAFTAs. Winner of BAFTA for Best Costume Design; and Royal Television Society Award.

Directed by: Clio Barnard

Produced by: Andrea Cornwell

Series adapted by Anna Symon

Exec Producers: Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Ian Canning, Emile Sherman, Patrick Walters, Clio Barnard, Anna Symon

Starring: Claire Danes, Tom Hiddleston, Frank Dillane, Hayley Squires, Clemence Poesy, Jamael Westman, Dixie Egerickx and Lily-Rose Aslandogdu.

“The Essex Serpent” follows newly widowed Cora who, having being released from an abusive marriage, relocates from Victorian London to the small village of Aldwinter in Essex, intrigued by a local superstition that a mythical creature known as the Essex Serpent has returned to the area. Based on the acclaimed novel by Sarah Perry, the series is adapted for television by Anna Symon and directed by Clio Barnard (Ali & Ava, The Selfish Giant).

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ "a gripping gothic drama" - Financial Times

“The Essex Serpent conjures a seductively dark, mysterious mood, with even a few scares that wouldn’t feel out of place in an A24 thriller.” - The Hollywood Reporter

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ "an engrossing adaptation that does justice to an already fantastically sumptuous book" - i News

“Director Clio Barnard makes the most of filming on location, capturing the town’s often oppressive atmosphere with gorgeous, eerie shots of the undulating water teasing everyone’s imaginations…. Even at its most unnerving, the series is impossible not to absorb like a humid fog permeating the skin.” - Variety

“It’s the series’ slow-burning, philosophically profound and sensuously-infused study of science, faith, love, and longing in late Victorian England that makes it so gripping…. Danes and Hiddleston’s chemistry is palpable, and Barnard’s characteristically sensual direction captures it swooningly…. Clio Barnard’s first foray into the world of TV is ultimately every bit as enthralling, meticulously detailed, and beautifully human as any of her big screen offerings.” - Empire

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ "Huge credit goes to cinematographer David Raedeker, whose astoundingly beautiful and haunting images of marshy Essex coastline form their own eloquent commentary on the themes of science, modernity and social change as they clash with tradition, superstition and late-Victorian faith” - The Arts Desk

"fabulously moody and evocative" - The Times

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ "eminently watchable, star-studded cast and gorgeous costumes” - Metro UK

"Gorgeous, moody six-part adaptation" - The New York Times

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - "Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston’s new Gothic ghost story will bewitch you" - Sydney Morning Herald

“a tense and heartfelt exploration of grief and belief” - The Verge

"delivers in just about every facet. From performances by Tom Hiddleston and Claire Danes that are infused with a delicious note of inward yearning that slowly displays itself on the outside to the fog-blanketed marshes of the Essex village in which the bulk of the story is set, the resulting product is an atmospheric, Gothic romance that doesn’t retreat from indulging in its initial foreboding" - Collider

"Apple TV+ is on a roll" - Heat

"stars, beauty, brains, a transportive atmosphere and a quasi-hypnotic pull” - Den of Geek

“Filmmaker Clio Barnard directs, and imbues the setting with a misty edge of danger, as if something just off-screen is about to strike. Word of the monster sets the town into a frenzy, and strange elements - a suddenly mute girl, a class full of kids falling into fits - begin to stack up. Barnard shoots the series as both a dread-building horror fable and a barely-restrained romance, but never lets any shot fall flat. Bathed in pale sunlight and filmed with the snake-like surrounding waterscape always in mind, the series is eerily beautiful. A gorgeous string-heavy score by composers Dustin O’Halloran and Herdis Stefansdottir accompanies the series, and comes to a marvelous heaving crescendo in the show’s penultimate episode… The Essex Serpent is a beast that’s worth hunting down.” - Slashfilm

“Claire Danes & Tom Hiddleston Are Superb” - The Playlist

“Danes defines the role of the newly widowed Cora Seaborne with intellectual rigour, romantic stirrings and an explorer’s passion. As a woman embracing her second chance, Danes is magnetic on the screen.” - The Monthly

“I have awaited Apple TV+’s mini-series adaptation with bated breath. Dear reader, I am overjoyed to report it is sublime.” - Geek Vibes Nation

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ “Magnificently realized” - Mitteldeutsche Zeitung (Germany)

“exceptional limited series.. as original as it is moving” - Le Parisien (France)

“aided by a terrific supporting ensemble that also includes Hayley Squires and Clemence Poesy, Hiddleston and Danes are just magnificent” - The Dominion Post (New Zealand)

"The ripples in the brackish waters of Essex are a stylish creepy element in the stunning landscape shots by director Clio Barnard." - Suddeutssche Zeitung (Germany)

"… a visually sophisticated, original and exciting production. Everything, initially, indicates that "The Essex Serpent" is venturing down the tortured path of the gothic thriller. The opening scene, absolutely magnificent, bathes in the fog and mud of the English countryside…. Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston are both at the top of their game. But it would be unfair not to pay tribute to Frank Dillane, who plays Luke as brilliant as he is annoying, and Clémence Poesy, delicate and scary in the role of Stella. All of them carry the series and allow the love story with real intelligence.” - Blick (Switzerland)

—"There isn’t one shot that doesn’t not evoke Constable’s painting of a chapter of one of the Bronte sister’s novels." - Le Figaro (France)

“a tense and heartfelt exploration of grief, self-trust and belief” - China Times

"a marvelous series in every way… The production is impeccable. It recreates the period in detail and builds the perfect atmosphere… Clio Barnard...demonstrates sensitivity but also a perfect command of narrative and tension.” - Reforma (Mexico)

"Clio Barnard’s directing patiently clears through the banks of mist to rigorously reveal each character’s truth (…) without ever exaggerating" - Le Monde (France)

“this must-see miniseries from Apple TV+… Exquisitely played by Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston” - Observatorio da TV (Brazil)

“Screenwriter Anna Symon understands that setting a story in the Victorian era does not mean giving up building an imaginary world of her own, and she has the ability to convey the complexity of the historical context, of the characters, and of the thematic struggles she wants to address. … The Essex Serpent is becoming an exhilarating work that any lover of good stories should see.“ - La Vanguardia (Spain)

“The elements of ‘The Essex Serpent’ move like a living tapestry, or perhaps like the mystical serpent itself… Jane Petrie’s costumes are architectural masterworks of cloth and thread, with puffed sleeves and sweeping coats that trail across the landscape.” - The Young Folks

Maud, a reclusive live-in nurse, becomes dangerously fixated with saving her newest patient’s soul.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ “Extraordinarily scary” - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ “One of the best British debuts of all time” - Evening Standard

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ “…the second coming of British cinema” - Metro

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ The Telegraph

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ “a magnificent slow-burner, a portrait of a woman headed toward an apocalypse of the self” - The Independent

“Forget Tenet, Saint Maud is the film that should tempt you back into cinemas” - Esquire

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ The Sun

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ The Mirror

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Nightmare on Film Street“ Saint Maud is an atmospheric ballet of one lonely mind yearning to connect. Eerie, vague and wickedly delightful from start to haunting end, Maud will have even veteran horror fans wrapped up in the dance.”

“it’s one hell of a debut for Rose Glass, who arrives to features fully formed, as elegantly poised between hardness and delicacy as her name” Guy Lodge - Variety

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Den of Geek
“a strange, gorgeous, and deeply disturbing chiller”

“a terrific performance from Jennifer Ehle and a bold, quietly nerve-shredding lead from Morfydd Clark, this is a hugely individual, distinctly British piece of genre-tweaking with a strong female focus and clear potential to cross borders between arthouse and upmarket horror sectors.” Jonathan Romney - Screen International

“it's clear Glass knows exactly what she's doing as she keeps adding thin layers of meaning and texture to the narrative. This smart, sinister work represents a very arresting calling card which augurs very well for her future prospects.” Leslie Felperin - Hollywood Reporter

“Ehle is riveting and electric as Amanda… Clark plays Maude as devastatingly fragile… Saint Maud’s impact only gets stronger as it brews, building to a stunning, shocking finale” - Collider

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Joe Lipsett - Bloody Disgusting
“Saint Maud is slow, and moody, and gorgeous, and powerful.”

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Meredith Borders - SlashFilm
“Ehle gives a powerful performance as Amanda, full of rage at her condition and amusement at Maud’s reverence… Clark is a find and a half, giving us moments of Sissy Spacek’s Carrie, all vulnerability and blackness. And Saint Maud certainly brings to mind De Palma’s film, as well as Friedkin’s The Exorcist. But even with her influences firmly in place, Glass creates something utterly her own, a female-forward examination of trauma, religion, sexuality and shame.”

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Cinevue
“Saint Maud is the dive into obsession, isolation and urban deprivation that you need right now.”

“But the very best film in [Midnight Madness] might have premiered on Sunday night, when Rose Glass’s Saint Maud was unleashed … It’s a slow-burn genre-shifter that lulls you into a sense of complacency early on with its quiet kindness, right up until it T-bones your fucking sinuses with some of the gnarliest religious horror in years.” - Vanyaland

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - ScifiNow
”Carried by a stellar performance from Morfydd Clark in the lead role, Saint Maud is a seamless experience of pure horror pleasure.”

“a divine Morfydd Clark… an extraordinary Jennifer Ehle … Rose Glass’ taut and trembling “Saint Maud” transmutes a young woman’s spiritual crisis into such a refined story of body horror that genre fans might feel like they’re having a religious experience.” - Indiewire

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - The Guardian
“a moving study of a man who gave birth … always feels intimately personal, he’s one of us and one of a kind.” (Charles Bramesco)

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Financial Times
“An astonishing, unmissable story…. Unexpected is the sheer breadth of insight bound up with his experience - the fragility of romantic relationships; the psychic connection of all pregnancies to parents a generation back. McConnell is never less than self-aware - once expecting he remarks that if all men could experience morning sickness the world would never hear the end of it - a complaint made while being , and doing just that.” (Danny Leigh)

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Now Toronto
”Finlay treats her remarkable subject in the way that we hope other pregnant trans men will one day be regarded: as ordinary.”

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Little White Lies
”Finlay’s film feels like a quiet but powerful step towards a more understanding society, in which individuals are not only granted autonomy over their own bodies and reproductive rights but find acceptance too.”

“One of the most moving things I have ever witnessed. I am forever changed”. - Portland Observer

“An engaging, empathetic and affecting film from master documentarian Jeanie Finlay” - Mark Kermode

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - The Guardian
”Brutal, beautiful portrait of a Romanian street kid…Compassionate but clear-eyed; loving but unsentimental; all the while retaining a slightly hallucinatory quality that evokes the unreality of Nicu’s life.” (Lucy Mangan)

“ an incredibly personal work from a filmmaker that is bound to become hugely influential... it is very exciting to see where he will go from here.” ReelSteel

“ For anybody who’s ever binged on Louis Theroux’s cultish docs or found real-world purpose in Ken Loach’s stories (..), Bruce Lee and the Outlaw promises to deliver an equally powerful emotional punch.” i-D Magazine

“Initially taking an observational perspective that avoids any judgement, the intimate photography captures the lives of these urchins and the cramped conditions in the tunnels. There are hints of Larry Clark in the framing … [and] of the Oscar-nominated, Seattle-set documentary Streetwise (1984), and Mark Smith’s 2000 documentary Dark Days.” - Cineuropa

“… A story filled with tragedy and hope. Vandebrug’s approach to documentary filmmaking empowers his subjects to own their stories and finds beauty and love in the darkest of places…. powerfully executed and visually flawless” - TheDigitalFix (9 out of 10)

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - “Director Joost Vandebrug creates a sense of intimacy and compassion…. a poignant, beautiful snapshot of a young boy’s most important years” - FORGE

As devout Jehovah's Witnesses, sisters Alex and Luisa and their mother, Ivanna, are united in The Truth. Alex looks up to her confident older sister, while striving to follow in Ivanna's footsteps as a ‘good Witness'. But when Luisa starts to question the advice of the Elders, she makes a life-altering transgression that threatens to expel her from the congregation. Unless Ivanna and Alex can persuade her to return, they must shun her completely. This challenge becomes more painful when their family is faced with another heartbreaking test of faith.

Selected Reviews:
100% - Rotten Tomatoes

"An audacious debut from first-time British director Daniel Kokotajlo...this story of family in conflict with faith delivers an emotional payoff all the more telling for being so rigorously calibrated...Apostasy should register internationally as one of those too rare films which fly the flag for a convincing British art cinema." - Screen International

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - "Daniel Kokotajlo’s debut about life among a religious community in Oldham is authentic, sensitive and subtle but has a sledgehammer narrative punch...Apostasy is a supremely intelligent and gripping drama." Peter Bradshaw - The Guardian

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - "Extremely nuanced and eye-opening, Apostasy may be one of the greatest depictions of faith in cinema.  The UpComing

"A piercingly humane and deeply moving glimpse into a community that for all its preaching and evangelizing remains largely a mystery to outsiders... the picture is a remarkably assured and understated piece of filmmaking, showcasing not only a first-time director who has arrived fully-formed, but three exceptionally authentic performances from the women at its slow-breaking heart." - Jessica Kiang, The Playlist

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - “calm and murderously watchable… a caustic, quiet, piercingly critical eye .. at blinkered rites and traditions.” - Nigel Andrews, Financial Times

"His unfussy shooting style gives us time to get to know these women … he displays no shortage of bravery in not following the expected narrative conventions, a strategy that proves bracingly effective." - Filmmaker Magazine

"Daniel Kokotajlo's Apostasy, which went on to win the [IWC Schaffhausen] award, is one of the rare British movies I can recall that wrestles with the issue of faith ...it features a superb performance by Siobhan Finneran... the tussle between secular and sacred is beautifully nuanced." Jason Solomons, Financial Times

"Born out of Kokotajlo’s own history as a former Jehovah’s Witness, this exquisitely anguished, impeccably acted story ... benefits immeasurably from its maker’s unique store of first-hand knowledge.... “Apostasy” notes with cutting precision the male-biased power structures present in so much organized religion." Guy Lodge - Variety

"Blood proves thicker than (holy) water in writer-director Daniel Kokotajlo's debut Apostasy, one of the year's strongest British films.... It's a timely, sensitive and intelligent work of cinema for which opportunity will now surely knock."  Neil Young - Hollywood Reporter

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - “a quietly brilliant work that balances the conflicts of three women, and the trio of actresses playing them give stunning performances.” TimeOut

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - “the performances are excellent, the plot is full of surprises, the characters are complex and believable… my faith in British film has just been restored.” Daily Star on Sunday

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - “intelligent, fascinating and beautifully acted” - Flickering Myth

Based on the bestselling novel “Suite Française” by Irene Némirovsky

Financiers: eOne / TF1 / The Weinstein Company / BBC Films / Scope Productions

Starring Michelle Williams, Kristin Scott Thomas, Matthias Schoenaerts, Ruth Wilson, Sam Riley, Harriet Walter, with Margot Robbie and Lambert Wilson

International Release March 2015

"Rewardingly complex, and disarmingly compassionate....an impressive sense of balance that belies the tumultuous birth of Némirovsky’s handwritten manuscripts, which heartbreakingly accompany the closing credits" - Mark Kermode, The Observer

"Suite Française ticks all the right boxes as a classy literary adaptation" - Screen International

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - "This nuanced, compelling film ... a handsome and intelligent adaptation... Kristin Scott Thomas is exceptional." - Time Out

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - "A Powerful Masterpiece" - Irish Independent

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - "Exceptional casting… the central romance rivets…Williams, Schoenarts and filmmaker Dibb deliver a love story that will make you swoon" - Charles Gant, Heat

"But it’s “Dolce” and events in the outline of “Captivity” that form the heart of this excellent film: the touching relationship between an unhappy young French woman and the German officer billeted with her family, with all its ambiguous, troubling echoes of collaboration. Némirovsky was a superb storyteller, and the film has done her justice." - Caroline Moorhead, The Guardian

"Both Kristin Scott Thomas and Michelle Williams are absolutely wonderful... [It] gives you an incredible sense of what it was like under occupation." - BBC Radio4 Front Row 

"Williams is an actor of powerful fragility; she is more than a match for Ms Scott Thomas’s terrific turn as Madame Angellier ... a romance with a tough enough core to ensure that the haunting spirit of [Némirovsky's] astonishing creation survives." - The Economist

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - "Enthralling and moving war romance" - Mark Adams, Sunday Mirror 

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - New Internationalist

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - "Gloriously enjoyable. A superbly acted war romance.... Love triangles rarely come so sharp and painful." - Glamour

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ -  "Breathtakingly moving"   Woman's Weekly

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ -Tim Evans, Skymovies

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - "Astonishingly vivid evocation of its trouble era, and the actors certainly rise to the occasion… Williams is utterly convincing…  a gripping slice of history and an intoxicating love story." - Radio Times

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ -  Grazia

"Michelle Williams and Kristin Scott Thomas give us an acting masterclass… a tense watch, brimming with moral dilemmas and grey areas." - Metro

"A seriously captivating film… suspense and romance set against a devastating backdrop… will have your heart racing." - Cosmoplitan

"Beautifully portrays the confusion, pain and hope when lives are thrown into total disarray… taut, emotional… a love story of epic proportions." - Stylist

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased are the whole family about the film. Both the children as well as the grandchildren thought this was a really good work.  Well done!" - Nicolas Dauplé, grandson of Irene Némirovsky

"Lean, muscular and on the money, The Last Days on Mars takes a familiar story and tells it so tautly that we are pleased to be on board." Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"An elegantly crafted adventure in classical science-fiction." Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"An atmospheric chiller ...The establishing scenes are terrific, with cinematographer Robbie Ryan prowling the barren landscape in hazy light, and the visual effects team whipping up truly menacing dust storms accompanied by Max Richter’s score, by turns melodic, moody and urgent. There’s also a potent sense of the claustrophobia of people stationed in a remote outpost, tinged with notes of dread." - The Hollywood Reporter
