My Mother's Shoes

Set in 1970's Ireland, an awkward 10 year old schoolboy, Jamie, attempts to manage his recently bereaved mother, a bully at school and a gaggle of sisters. A pair of his mother's shoes bring matters to a head in this coming of age tale.

Directed by Mike Hayes, My Mother's Shoes leans on a strong ensemble — Sam Hardy, Natalie Radmall-Quirke, Sean Duggan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2019.
