The Lovers
A foul-mouthed supermarket worker (Roisin Gallagher) doesn’t care about anything, including her life, until she begins an unexpected relationship with a self-centred political television broadcaster (Critics Choice nominee Johnny Flynn from Genius and Emma), who already has a seemingly perfect London life and celebrity girlfriend (Alice Eve) .
Directed by BAFTA winner Justin Martin (Together) The Lovers has an 80% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with London Evening Standard calling the Sky Original “a brilliant rom-com with as much bite as it has heart” in their 5/5-star review.
