Blue Road: The Edna O’Brien Story

Friday 23 May 2025 - Thursday 29 May 2025

Cinema

A 93-year-old Irish writer Edna O’Brien recounts her controversial life, novels, love affairs, and stardom in Blue Road: The Edna O’Brien Story.

The film takes us through personal journals read by actress Jessie Buckley, with perspectives from writers like Gabriel Byrne and Walter Mosley.

 

‘This rigorously researched film has much to say about the writing…But, as you might expect with a study of such a figure, Blue Road is more remarkable for its consideration of how an extraordinary life was lived.’ – The Irish Times ★★★★☆
