Fans of Gillian Anderson hoping to see another of her patented powerful women - a lineage which stretches from Dana Scully to Margaret Thatcher - might be in for a surprise with Trespasses.
In this devastating romantic drama, she’s a “glorious wreck”, struggling with bereavement and alcohol addiction. She rarely leaves her armchair - or the bottom of a gin bottle - and has to be put to bed most nights. She falls off furniture. She’s found comatose and bleeding in the bath. It might not be Anderson’s most glamorous role but it’s among her most heartbreaking.
