Disgusted with the state of care that her elderly neighbor Elsie (Brenda Blethyn) is receiving, Colleen (Andrea Riseborough) offers to help for free. Over tea and through trying moments, the pair become trusted confidants despite their differences. But Colleen’s intentions may not be exactly as they seem. As suspicions grow, a shocking act triggers a violent chain reaction that threatens to irreparably alter the lives of both women.
Tour-de-force performances by Academy Award® nominees Andrea Riseborough and Brenda Blethyn anchor writer-director Paul Andrew Williams’ unpredictable and eerie feature Dragonfly. Highlighting the stark realities of elder care through the lens of genre filmmaking, Williams offers a blistering portrait of alienation that is equal parts jaw-dropping and heartbreaking. Told with remarkable honesty about and empathy for its characters, Dragonfly is a stark reminder of our need for connection and the potential for kindness and cruelty in us all.—Cyrus Cohen
