This time it is TO LESLIE (2022), based on a true account of a woman who blows away all her lottery money in seven years on a dissolute lifestyle and ends up being an alcoholic and bankrupt, shunned by all her friends and neighbours, including her son who is now 19. Andrea Riseborough who plays Leslie delivers a stunning performance that fetched her a nomination for the Best Actress Academy Award. Look up this beautiful film on the fall and redemption of a lost soul that is truly inspiring.
