UK
Feature Film
Director: Lewis Gilbert
Writer: Willy Russell
Cinematographer: Alan Hume
Composer: Willy Russell
Cast: Pauline Collins, Tom Conti, Alison Steadman, Julia McKenzie, Joanna Lumley, Bernard Hill, Gillian Kearney, Tracie Bennett

Collins is outstanding as the titular housewife in this funny, touching, and melancholic adaptation of Russell’s acclaimed play; an insightful look at the politics of sex and marriage, and a beautiful lament to forgotten hopes and dashed dreams. Iain.Stott
