The Party’s Just Beginning

Ottawa Premiere the Week of February 22nd!

In a bleak Inverness midwinter, Luisaidh is careening off the rails after the suicide of her best friend. She medicates her misery with joyless sex, chips and a belief in the power of positive drinking. Surrounded by bittersweet memories, she struggles to find someone to talk to or some reason to make life worthwhile at the most stressful time of the year.

“Karen Gillen makes a dark, dazzling, directorial debut…a zippy and brisk film that acts as a great showcase for Gillan’s talent and her growing abilities as a director…is far from a vanity project for Gillan — it’s a grand entrance for a promising, bold new director. It’s a career that’s just beginning for Gillan, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.” (SlashFilm)
