A young woman is found murdered and the prime suspect is a ‘happily married’ professor with a reputation.
Directed by Simon Kaijser, the key characters are played by Guy Pearce, Odeya Rush, Minnie Driver and Pierce Brosnan…
Pearce always plays interesting characters; that’s the reason I’ll be watching this hopefully satisfying thriller.
Sterling Beaumon, Alexandra Shipp, Sean Blakemore, Clark Gregg and Jamie Kennedy also star.

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Wilde Wedding (2017).
From writer/director Damian Harris, The Wilde Wedding is a new comedy about a retired actress who gets married for the fourth time, to a renowned english writer.
Glenn Close, Patrick Stewart, John Malkovich and Minnie Driver are among the key cast.
First of all, to anyone who didn’t recognise Sir Patrick Stewart with hair, what kind of movie fan are you?
All jokes aside, I’ll be watching because the cast is great. There’s also the fact that this trailer looks good and reminds me so much of one of my favourites, It’s Complicated (2009).
Yael Stone, Peter Facinelli, Grace Van Patten and Noah Emmerich also make an appearance.
The Wilde Wedding Release Dates…

Firstly, I love the name of the female star of the Gina Prince-Bythewood directed Beyond The Lights. If you didn’t already know, It’s British actress Gugu Mbartha-Raw.
The pressures of fame and success as a female in the music business is an important aspect of this carefully handled story – which also stars Minnie Driver, Nate Parker and Danny Glover.
As I watched, I found myself reminded of all the times that famous and wise musicians have emphasised the importance of surrounding oneself with ‘the right people’ – people who tell you the truth and those who absolutely have your best interests at heart.
There’s also a great message about personal truth and how it can be difficult to accept, but more often than not, when it finally is, therein lies the beginning of a journey toward one’s own version of happiness.
Sometimes being selfish is the only way. Especially since it’s from love of self and learning of / knowing one’s value that you have the strength to do what deep down you know you must.
Watch it because you’re curious about what the world of such a story can be like and because you want to know if and how the protagonist comes to fair under the pressures of both fame and her own personal truth.
Happy Beyond The Lights 🙂
