In 2021, a comedy titled “Our Ladies” made its debut, two years after it premiered at the BFI Festival. Comedy enthusiasts will have another chance to see it tonight as it airs on Film4 at 11.15pm.
As a gamer, I can’t wait to dive into this movie directed and co-written by Michael Caton-Jones. The stellar cast has me hooked! Talented actresses like Tallulah Greive, Abigail Lawrie, Rona Morison, Sally Messham, and Marli Siu will be leading the show, forming a powerful quintet that’s sure to leave an impact.
Despite not being a blockbuster at the cinemas, the comedy received high praise from critics. Currently, it boasts a 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 31 reviews.
The review in The Times praises the movie for having five captivating, well-drawn female characters that can be slightly unsettling. Meanwhile, The i Paper compared it to a combination of Derry Girls and Trainspotting, describing it as lively or rowdy.
The sentiment was similarly expressed by The Herald, stating: “Both Derry Girls and Our Ladies possess a large, warm, compassionate spirit, and show an authentic fondness, or even affection, for young women who embody remarkable courage during a crucial stage of their lives.
The Independent noted that what makes “Our Ladies” so delightful is how they defy their circumstances in numerous small ways – rather than concentrating solely on the endpoints of their lives, they prefer to celebrate the journey itself.
Although the comedy is scheduled to play on Film4, Channel 4’s streaming service offers a variety of other films as well. For example, they recently added the real-life crime drama, “Reality,” and the musical biopic, “Rocketman.”
This version maintains the original meaning while making it more conversational and easier to read for the average person.
Our Ladies airs at 11.15pm on Film4 tonight.
