On a warm spring day in 1924, house maid and foundling Jane Fairchild (Odessa Young) finds herself alone on Mother’s Day. Her employers, Mr. and Mrs. Niven (Colin Firth and Olivia Colman), are out and she has the rare chance to spend quality time with her secret lover. Paul (Josh O’Connor) is the boy from the manor house nearby, Jane’s long-term love despite the fact that he’s engaged to be married to another woman, a childhood friend and daughter of his parents’ friends. But events that neither can foresee will change the course of Jane’s life forever.—Rotten Tomatoes

“Director Eva Husson has an unusually sensual approach to filmmaking, building an intensely naturalistic tone in relationships. And the larger themes are so resonant that we can’t help but see ourselves in here.”—Shadows on the Wall

“A moving drama that shifts back and forwards in time to paint a portrait of its characters’ lives, Mothering Sunday is particularly satisfying when it focuses on Jane, who’s beautifully portrayed by rising Aussie star Young.”—Time Out

“Audiences will likely be seduced by the combination of Brit star power and the unapologetic steaminess of the central relationship.”—Screen International
