Kate O'Flynn is an overworked, underfunded employee in Mike Leigh's Tender Loving Care trailer
The film will most likely be the last from the director of Secrets And Lies and Hard Truths .
Kate O'Flynn, a dedicated employee in the child welfare services, is returning to England with her latest film project, "Tender Loving Care." This marks the final film from director Mike Leigh, who secured an Emmy award for his previous work. Bleecker Street has unveiled a first trailer for the film, which is set for release in the U.S. on December 4.
O'Flynn, who previously played a role in "Widow's Bay," portrays the character Amy, an employee at a child welfare agency. Similar to her character in the earlier film, Amy appears to require more resources to perform her job effectively. She is supported by her friend Rosie, played by Alice Bailey Johnson, another social services employee.
The film features Leigh's signature simple yet humorous dialogue, coupled with non-flashy camera work. Alice Bailey Johnson, in her review of the film's screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, praised the director for his ability to give actors "the material and space to feel through every conflicted note, to stifle the sobs of fully living in the role."
