Judy has spent much of her adult life living with Parkinson’s disease, but the death of her husband and her son leaving home threaten the fragile order of her life and the independence she’s fought so hard to maintain. Set against the stunning vistas of British Columbia, this tender and quietly observed debut from Kathleen Hepburn is powered by an astonishing and deeply moving performance by Shirley Henderson full of compassion, gentle humour and steely resilience.
