Little White Lies

Sweet Sue

Directed by LEO LEIGH

Starring MAGGIE O’NEILL, TONY PITTS, HARRY TREVALDWYN

Released 22 DECEMBER

he apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree in Leo – son of Mike – Leigh’s feature debut plays like one of his pop’s early, funny ones. Yet there’s something that doesn’t quite scan with this story of a thrill-seeking middle-aged woman who runs a dismal party goods store and her misadventures on the dating scene. Maggie O’Neill plays Sue as practically-minded and without any airs or graces. She is on the prowl for personal happiness, and if you’re not with her on this mission, you’re against her.
