Not seen a female-led Scottish comedy drama this good since Wedding Belles.
For me, the acting standout was Abigail Lawrie as Finnoula, but the whole cast was pitch perfect. The douchey male characters who crop up throughout are scarily accurate and really well portrayed.
Great film with a lot of heart and one which takes a decent stab at making 2020's Edinburgh look like 1990's Edinburgh, especially given the obvious budget constraints.
Regarding other reviewers' criticism of the lead characters' sex obsession: ok, I'll grant that it might feel a little OTT right at the beginning, and in the opening scenes you do kinda raise an eyebrow, but if you watch more than ten minutes of this and honestly come away thinking that's all this movie has to say for itself then you're not paying attention.
Hopefully Michael67677 is just trolling with his "East coast accents in a film about Glesga" comment, but I might as well address it for non-Scots. Firstly, this is not a movie about Glasgow. Secondly, it's actually more obvious in this movie that you have some west-coasters putting on an east coast accent. In Our Ladies this is especially true of some minor characters which only crop up during the Edinburgh scenes, but it's hardly even worth mentioning as it doesn't detract from the story in the slightest. Given that most of Scotland's TV & film production facilities and talent are based in Glasgow, this "west coasters putting on a different accent" thing is very common, but you rarely hear people moaning about it and more to the point even when it's noticeable it's rarely what you'd call jarring.
