In this week’s episode of the MK3D show, actress Andrea Riseborough joins Mark to talk about her starring role in TO LESLIE, for which she won an Oscar. She plays a West Texas single mother who wins the lottery and squanders it just as fast, leaving behind a world of heartbreak.

Mark also welcomes Mark Nighy, to talk about her directorial debut ALICE, DARLING, the tense psychological thriller from a screenplay by Alanna Francis. The film stars Anna Kendrick, Kaniehtiio Horn, Charlie Carrick and Wunmi Mosaku.

Mark also flags up the Girls On Film Award nominees for this year.

TO LESLIE and ALICE, DARLING are available to watch on streaming platforms.

This episode of Kermode On Film is the first half of the MK3D show recorded live at the BFI Southbank on 23 January 2023. This is the first half of that show.

Thank you for listening!
