Vera's Brenda Blethyn looks unrecognisable as she bids farewell to iconic role
The 79-year-old actress will debut her new film, Dragonfly, at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in August, after it was met with glowing reviews at Tribeca Brenda Blethyn is set to star in the gripping new thriller Dragonfly, a far cry from her iconic role as DCI Vera Stanhope, with the film set to premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in August. The movie follows the story of Colleen, played by Andrea Riseborough, who takes it upon herself to care for her elderly neighbour Elise, portrayed by Blethyn, amidst concerns that the professionals are not doing an adequate job. However, it remains to be seen whether Colleen has ulterior motives or if those around her are simply making unfounded judgments. The film boasts an all-star cast, including Jason Watkins as John, Sandra Huggett as Mary, and Lolly Jones as Jane. Having garnered widespread critical acclaim at Tribeca, Dragonfly has already achieved an impressive 92% approval rating, reports the Express. Since her departure from the hit series Vera, the 79 year old actress has gone on to take on a string of exciting new projects, including the highly anticipated historical comedy Fools. Directed by Paul Andrew Williams, Blethyn's latest venture has been hailed as a "stark, fierce and wonderfully acted film" by The Guardian. The Film Stage praised the film, saying: "Williams and his brilliant cast create a film that is equal-parts tender and shocking, turning horror tropes on their head." NYC Movie Guru lauded Blethyn's performance as award-worthy, adding: "What begins as a slow-burning and tender drama with shades of Mike Leigh turns into a dark and gripping Hitchcockian thriller. "Brenda Blethyn and Andrea Riseborough give powerful and Oscar-worthy performances that ground the film in raw authenticity." Brenda's latest role comes almost a year after she was spotted filming her final scenes for Vera in Newcastle. ITV left fans heartbroken when they announced in spring 2024 that the beloved detective drama would conclude this year, following a triumphant 14-year run. The plot summary for Dragonfly is as follows: "Disgusted with the state of care that her elderly neighbour Elsie is receiving, Colleen offers to help for free. "Over tea and through trying moments, the pair become trusted confidants despite their differences. But Colleen's intentions may not be exactly as they seem. As suspicions grow, a shocking act triggers a violent chain reaction that threatens to irreparably alter the lives of both women." Dragonfly will premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in August.
