38. MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS (2022) dir. Anthony Fabian

In MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS, Lesley Manville plays *Beanie Feldstein voice* the TITULAR ROLE, a exorbitantly generous (almost to a fault) cleaning lady living in 1950s London. After her soldier husband is reported killed in action, Mrs. Harris finds herself in a bit of a midlife crisis, wondering if the day-to-day of working for pittance followed by drinking off the strain in the pub is worth it. After stumbling across one of her clients' Christian Dior dresses, which absolutely stuns her, her mission is set. She needs to save up enough money for a little slice of glamour and head to Paris to acquire it. What results is a charming comedy packed full of character, wit and kindness. You want something celebrating the working-class effort needed to build a dream?
