When Jane (Sally Hawkins) is rejected by life, she spirals into a chaotic, schizophrenic world, where love and normality collide with both touching and humorous consequences.

Jilted as a young woman on her wedding day, the outsider in a fragmented family and beset with anxieties both real and imaginary, Jane has a life of constant struggle. Pills offer a possible solution and her relationship with vagrant musician Mike (David Thewlis) might be another. But does the medication and even love just exacerbate June’s delusional state of mind?

Following his 2015 directorial debut Just Jim, actor-turned-director Craig Roberts’ sophomore feature is a true high-wire act, depicting the unstable perceptions of a fragile persona with delirious colour and design across ever-shifting time frames. Sally Hawkins’ fearless performance again confirms her as one of Britain’s best, and an ace supporting cast – Alice Lowe, Billie Piper, Penelope Wilton – prove equally committed to Roberts’ singular, humane vision.
