While he's usually known as a producer, Barnaby Thompson has sat in the director's chair before, for both St. Trinian's films. He's finally back in that job, and his latest comedy is crime pic Pixie. which stars Olivia Cooke, Ben Hardy and Daryl McCormack.
Pixie (Cooke) wants to avenge her mother’s death by masterminding a heist, but her plans go awry and she finds herself on the run with two young men (Hardy and McCormack) who are way out of their depth being chased across the Wild Irish countryside by... deadly gangster priests.
She has to pit her wits against everyone, taking on the patriarchy to claim the right to shape her own life. Yep, that old story.
With Alec Baldwin (as a vengeful priest), Colm Meaney and Dylan Moran (playing a quippy drug-dealer Pixie needs to make contact with), Pixie will be in Irish and UK cinemas on 23 October.
