Imogen Poots leads this incredible Irish psychological thriller, playing Rose Dugdale, the ringleader of the 1974 heist at the private estate Russborough House in Ireland’s County Wicklow, where the group stole 19 priceless paintings.
Focusing on the aftermath of the heist, this tense films charts her journey from privileged heiress to committed rebel, handled deftly by writer and director team Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor, who previously directed the excellent ‘Desperate Optimists’.
Highly recommended viewing before it closes out its theatrical run.
