First Look at ‘Mandy’ Star Andrea Riseborough in ‘Here Before’ [Cannes]

Published

Bloody Disgusting has your first look at Mandy standout Andrea Riseborough, who also starred in the latest The Grudge, in Here Before, a Belfast-set psychological thriller from Stacey Gregg, who made her directorial debut on the film.

Riseborough plays a bereaved mother who, after new neighbors move in, events unfold and she starts to question her reality.

When a new family moves in next door, their young daughter, Megan, quickly captivates Laura, stirring up painful memories of her own daughter who died several years previously. Before long, Laura’s memories turn to obsession as Megan’s unsettling behaviour begins to convince her of something supernatural. As Laura’s determination to get to the bottom of it becomes all consuming, her family begins to fracture and the line between the extraordinary and the real becomes ever more obscured in this haunting story about a mother’s love.

Jonjo O’Neill (“The Fall”), Martin McCann (“Calibre”), and Eileen O’Higgins (“Brooklyn”) will also star.

Bankside Films is handling worldwide sales at the upcoming Cannes Virtual market. Julia Godzinskaya and Sophie Vickers of Rooks Nest Entertainment produced.
