Movie Details

MAIN CAST:
Emily Lloyd
Tom Bell
Geoffrey Hutchings
Jesse Birdsall
DESCRIPTION:
This cheeky, rebellious coming-of-age drama follows Linda, a fiery teenager in 1950s seaside England who clashes with the stifling conservatism of her surroundings — mostly by saying exactly what’s on her mind. Emily Lloyd delivers a powerhouse debut, bouncing between hilarious defiance and vulnerable honesty. With dry British wit and heartfelt emotion, it’s like Lady Bird by way of Brighton Pier and a few awkward ice cream cones.
WHY IT’S A HIDDEN GEM:
Despite winning awards and acclaim at Cannes, Wish You Were Here has largely vanished from public view. Possibly because its tone — somewhere between kitchen sink and postcard smut — is hard to market. But trust us: it’s a minor British classic.
