Fiona Shaw and Emma Mackey play a mother and daughter who go to Spain to seek specialist medical treatment.
From Killing Eve to Bad Sisters and Andor, Fiona Shaw has been all over our TV screens in recent years. Despite her packed schedule, she has still managed to find time to squeeze in a few films, like her latest release, Hot Milk.
Based on the novel of the same name by Deborah Levy, Hot Milk follows Rose (Fiona Shaw) and her daughter Sofia (Emma Mackey) during a trip to Spain.
They have come to the country to see a specialist to hopefully get an explanation for Rose’s mysterious long-term illness or psychosomatic condition, which has left her wheelchair-bound for years.
During their stay, twentysomething Sofia, who feels trapped as her mother’s carer, meets and becomes infatuated with Ingrid (Vicky Krieps), a distraction from her everyday reality.
The most interesting element of the film is the mother-daughter dynamic, which we slowly learn more about as the film progresses.
