Edie
“Edie,” a coming of age story, skips past adolescence and adulthood and begins when title character Edie Moore is in her 80s. A dissatisfied wife and caretaker, soon to be widowed, she appears to be at loose ends. Her daughter, seeing only a frail, disgruntled old woman, wants to put her in a home. But a postcard and a long-ago promise changes the story for Edie, played by Sheila Hancock with both great emotional range and enviable physical gifts. Fulfilling a lifelong dream, Edie runs away to the Scottish Highlands to climb Mount Suilven, the most enigmatic mountain in North West Scotland. On the way she teams up with a brash young mountaineering guide. The scenery will make you swoon as will Hancock’s physical prowess (no stunt double was used). UK 2017 (102 minutes)
