Mothering Sunday

"Olivia Colman and Colin Firth star in this deeply affecting adaptation of Graham Swift’s bittersweet novel about secret love in post-WWI England." - TIFF

On a warm spring day in 1924, house maid and foundling Jane Fairchild (Odessa Young) finds herself alone on Mother's Day. Her employers, Mr. and Mrs. Niven (Colin Firth and Olivia Colman), are out and she has the rare chance to spend quality time with her secret lover. Paul (Josh O'Connor) is the boy from the manor house nearby, Jane's long-term love despite the fact that he's engaged to be married to another woman, a childhood friend and daughter of his parents' friends. But events that neither can foresee will change the course of Jane's life forever.


"Featuring captivating performances from up-and-coming talents Odessa Young and Josh O’Connor (The Crown), and Oscar-winning veterans Olivia Colman, Colin Firth, and Glenda Jackson, this exquisite adaptation of Booker Prize–winning author Graham Swift’s eponymous novella transports us to Britain’s inter-war years for a story of grief, responsibility, and hidden love." - TIFF

"Moving drama that shifts back and forwards in time to paint a portrait of its characters' lives, Mothering Sunday is particularly satisfying when it focuses on Jane, who's beautifully portrayed by rising Aussie star Young." - Time Out

"A thoughtful and deeply affecting meditation on the loneliness of the lifelong writer." - Times (UK)
