LA TUA VALUTAZIONE

Maxine Peake plays the gritty role of 'Funny Cow,' a comedian who breaks through the glass ceiling of the all-male 1970s comedy circuit to rise to stardom. Set against the backdrop of working men's clubs in the North of England, 'Funny Cow' is both a love-letter to a bygone era and the defiant story of a woman who refuses to give up her dreams.

Quiz
Loosely based on the life and career of British comedienne Marti Caine.

Blooper
Paddy Considine's character says "the whole nine yards" which is an Americanism barely used in England today, and unheard of in the 1970s.

Citazioni
[last lines]
Funny Cow: You see, it's been too much for me, life. Too much and not enough. All at the same time. Listen to me going on, eh?

Curiosità sui crediti
Vic Reeves (Jim Moir), who plays a cabaret performer in the film, nods to his recording of 'Born Free' in 1991 with 'Vic Reeves and The Roman Numerals' which reached number 6 in the UK singles chart

Bleak but entertaining

Maxine Peake is on top form as a conflicted maverick in seventies Yorkshire who rails against the endless stream of male violence ,human indifference and suffering with her dry wit. The film tips a huge nod to kitchen sink dramas like Saturday night Sunday morning and there's no flinching away from the racist /sexist/homophobic jokes of the era. This film is not for everyone but does provide lots of humorous lines and moments amid the relentless misery. Cameos agogo - even Corrine Bailey Rae gets a look in !
