The Little Stranger (2018), Charlottle Rampling, Ruth Wilson
Set in the summer of 1947, Dr Faraday, a respectable country doctor is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall where his mother once worked.

From director Lenny Abrahamson, The Little Stranger is based on the novel by Lucinda Coxon and Sarah Waters. Domhnall Gleeson, Ruth Wilson, Charlotte Rampling and Will Poulter star.
The mystery intrigues me. Yet it’s mainly Poulter and his character that have me most interested.
How To Talk to Girls At Parties (2017), Elle Fanning, Alex Sharp
Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Ruth Wilson and Alex Sharp are the stars of How to Talk to Girls at Parties, a John Cameron Mitchell-directed comedy/romance about an alien. One that’s touring the galaxy but breaks away from her group and meets two young inhabitants of the most dangerous place in the universe – the London suburb of Croydon.
I’m in for the alien activity and the costumes. I also can’t say that I didn’t find the line in the official synopsis about Croydon amusing. Especially since I’m not from there, but I know of its reputation.
