In a matter of hours, a global audience had witnessed the patriarchy driven from the stage and the Western ideal of beauty turned on its head.Release Date: September 25, 2020Directed by: Philippa LowthorpeScreenplay by: Rebecca Frayn and Gaby ChiappeStarring: Keira Knightley, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jessie Buckley, Keeley Hawes, Phyllis Logan, Lesley Manville, Rhys Ifans, and Greg KinnearDistributor: Shout!
