Sweet Sue

1. Original Score — To be confirmed
2. Electric Destiny performance music (in-film) — Anthony's dance troupe (fictional)

• Sweet Sue is Leo Leigh's feature directorial debut — he is the son of legendary British filmmaker Mike Leigh, whose body of work includes Secrets & Lies (1996), Vera Drake (2004), Another Year (2010) and Happy-Go-Lucky (2008).
• The title is an intentional echo of Mike Leigh's Life is Sweet (1990), one of his most beloved films, which similarly centres on a working-class family navigating quirky relationships and unfulfilled ambition.
• Harry Trevaldwyn's Anthony — an influencer convinced of his dance troupe Electric Destiny's impending stardom — became one of the film's most discussed characters, with critics divided on whether he is sympathetically drawn or too easy a target.
• Maggie O'Neill, who plays Sue, is a British actress known for her television work — her performance in Sweet Sue has been cited as the film's undisputed highlight by virtually all critics, with Rotten Tomatoes reviewers singling her out by name.
• The film holds an 88% Rotten Tomatoes critics score from 8 reviews — a strong reception for a small British independent debut.
• The film was produced with BBC Film and Somesuch, the latter being a UK production company known for its music video and commercial work — an unusual production partner for a naturalistic British drama.
• Despite its December 22, 2023 UK release, the film is available on Plex for free internationally, significantly widening its global reach beyond its original theatrical distribution via Curzon Film.

"Fuck's sake."

"Electric Destiny is going to be massive. I can feel it."
