Brilliant Hidden Gem of a Film!
Can’t say enough good about this film… other than why have I not heard about it or seen it in theatres!? Maxine Peake is just beyond brilliant in this work. She forces you to fall in love with this beautifully damaged hot mess of a character. Peake layers every nuance and subtext possible around this tortured soul for you to see and excruciatingly feel. The directing by Adrian Shergold was exceptional and clever, the screenwriting by Tony Pitts superb. The supporting cast is fantastic, most especially Tony Pitts brutally intimidating in the role of Bob. While this genre and storyline with actors nearly unknown to me would not be something, I wouldn’t typically watch. But I’m so very pleased I did. Funny Cow had me from start to finish. An outstanding piece of work tragically overlooked and underappreciated by the British critics and audiences and invisible to American audiences until now… thank you Amazon Prime!

A hidden gem
Not many cinemas will screen this independent little British drama. But it’s a well made, heartfelt period piece that rewards your patience and attention. It’s about a woman in the 1970s in working class Yorkshire who is determined to become a comedian, despite huge barricades she must overcome. Such as poverty, an abusive father, sexism, an abusive husband, and her own fear of failure. Somehow she knows that a better life is out there, and she manages to hang on to that dream, against the odds. In the lead role, Maxine Peake is great, as someone who won’t take no for an answer, and is courageous in leaving relationships that aren’t working. She is good at rising above people who treat her badly – e.g. when she visits her adult brother, and he and his wife are hostile to Funny Cow because the wife, for some unknown reason, dislikes Funny Cow. We see the spark of perseverance she had as a child, and she never loses that. The script, by Tony Pitts, is rich and taut. The pacing is good. Sometimes the accents are very thick but you do get used to them in the end. Alun Armstrong (New Tricks) is a joy to watch as Lenny – the crusty old vaudeville style comedian who Funny Cow latches on to as her mentor, even though, at first, he tells her that women can’t be comedians. Paddy Considine has a meaty role as Funny Cow’s intellectual boyfriend, who is kind and loving, but who she doesn’t love. The film is a stylist’s and costume designer’s dream. Don’t see this film if you’re against smoking – all the characters drink like fish, and they smoke so much I almost started coughing. It’s authentic to the period, though.
