Watch one of our top screen talents in action, supported by cast of household-name actors in this Loach-influenced gritty Brit film. Maxine Peake excels as Funny Cow, a stand-up comedian trying to break into the 70s northern comedy circuit against fierce male resistance. As Sight&Sound puts it ‘this is a drama about a comic rather than a comedy drama’, and that drama is a rollercoaster of a ride.

‘It’s excruciating and inspiring to watch in equal measure, and Peake is terrific in the title role.’ Charlotte O’Sullivan, Evening Standard
