Not really fabulous

Absolutely Fabulous (2016)

Directed by Mandie Fletcher this film based on the television show of the same name stars writer Jennifer Saunders as well as Joanna Lumley, Julia Sawalha and Jane Horrocks. Ageing PR guru Edina and her best friend magazine editor Patsy may have accidentally killed Kate Moss.

Twenty years is a long time to pick up after the television series but this film does a fairly good job of capturing the feel of the show. Unfortunately the plot relies a little too much on celebrity cameos and transphobic humour to get by. Joanna Lumley is the best thing in the film but not enough to carry it.


2/5
