Love, Death & Lime Dresses

At a crossroads and with no answers Sheila traverses this painful revelation as anyone would… by donning a lime print dress and hopping on a bus to Blackpool. With the help of her grandson Dudley (a mild-mannered closet case), the two explore the beauty of the UK’s campest seaside town and get a glimpse into the secret queer life of Granddad Bill.
Reviews
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
