Sarah Lancashire Movies

Filmmaker Stephen Whittaker adapts author D.H. Lawrence's simmering tale of sex, love, and family. In the years leading up to World War I, the problems faced by many families were uncannily similar to the issues that mankind would still be struggling with nearly a century later. Human relationships remain as fragile as ever, and the only constant in life seems to be a humbling sense of uncertainty. Sarah Lancashire stars in a drama detailing the anguish of first love, and the awkward confusion of first sex. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Billy Connolly stars in a rambunctious period comedy detailing the celluloid exploits of a 20th Century London photographer who specializes in deliciously scandalous snapshots. Kingdom Swan (Connolly) is an artist whose career seems to be on the downturn until he receives a camera as a gift. Subsequently establishing himself as a photographer who specializes in capturing the unclad human form in lavish classical settings, Swan quickly becomes the scornful figure of notoriety to a the painfully prudish upper crust. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Sarah Lancashire, a leading player from the long-running British TV series Coronation Street, stars in this drama based on the memoirs of actress and children's activist Coral Atkins. Atkins (played by Lancashire) overcame a childhood of abuse and neglect at the hands of foster parents to become a British TV and theater star in the early 1970s. At the peak of her fame, Atkins attended a charity event at a children's home, and she was shocked to see the staff ignoring a little girl who was weeping uncontrollably. Reminded of the horrors of her own childhood, Atkins pledged to start a home for the sort of children that the foster care system was not equipped to deal with. As a divorced single parent trying to take on the bureaucracy of the children's services system, Atkins had a steep uphill battle, but in time she gave up her career to care for the children who meant so much to her. Originally produced for British television, Seeing Red received its American premiere on the PBS series Masterpiece Theatre. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
