The comedy crime thriller Pixie, featuring Ben Hardy and Olivia Cooke, is now available to watch for free in the UK. Set in Ireland, the film received positive reviews and is full of unexpected plot twists.
In the 2020 film, Cooke plays the main character who sets out to avenge her mother’s death. To do so, she leaves her quiet small-town life and plans a robbery as part of her plan.
Unfortunately, the plan goes terribly wrong, and Pixie finds herself having to work with an unlikely duo: Frank (Hardy) and Harland (Daryl McCormack). As criminals start pursuing them, the three are forced to flee across Ireland.

You can now watch the movie Pixie for free on Channel 4 in the UK. It was added to the service after being shown on Film4 last week. Directed by Barnaby Thompson and written by Preston Thompson, it’s available for 27 days, so don’t miss it!
The film Pixie, starring Colm Meaney and Fra Fee, received mostly positive reviews when it came out. Currently, 76% of critics on Rotten Tomatoes recommend it, based on 54 reviews.
According to The San Jose Mercury News, the movie Pixie is a delightful surprise, offering beautiful Irish landscapes, unexpected plot twists, and witty dialogue. They describe it as a charming and unique film.
Though Barnaby Thompson’s comedy Pixie isn’t groundbreaking in its idea, critics praised its skillful delivery. The Houston Chronicle noted it was a funny and well-made film, and The Hollywood Reporter described it as an energetic and entertaining adventure.
When the movie came out, the three main actors gave an exclusive interview to Digital Spy. Actress Cooke described her character, saying she appreciated that she was so openly mischievous, naughty, and manipulative with the two male leads, without feeling any remorse.
I really enjoyed performing in that. As an audience member, you’re left wondering what motivates the character to do such daring things, and the reveal is completely satisfying when you finally learn the reason.
If you don’t enjoy crime thrillers, Channel 4 has a lot of other options available, including the funny coming-of-age story How to Build a Girl starring Emma Thompson, and the award-winning biopic The Eyes of Tammy Faye, both recently added to their streaming service.
Pixie is streaming now on Channel 4.
The latest issue of Living Legends magazine is now available, and it’s a special tribute to Dolly Parton! You can find “Dolly at 80” in shops or order it online for only £8.99.
