Mothering Sunday

In the spring of 1924, the well-off Godfrey and Clarrie Niven (Colin Firth, Olivia Colman) obligingly gave a holiday off to housemaid Jane Fairchild (Odessa Young). They had no inkling she'd be spending it in the embrace of neighbor and longtime lover Paul Sheringham (Josh O'Connor)--betrothed to a woman of his class--and she'd know that day's fateful repercussions for a lifetime. Eva Husson's absorbing take on the Graham Swift novel also stars Sope Dirisu, Emma D'Arcy, and Glenda Jackson. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
