Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie

Directed by Mandie Fletcher1h 31m2016

Edina and Patsy are still oozing glitz and glamour, living the high life they're accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing around London's trendiest hotspots. Blamed for a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and are relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi. Fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forever more!

Our read: Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016) reads as a warm, breathless, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
