As a devoted cinephile with a penchant for uncovering hidden gems, I must say that Daisy Ridley’s performance in ‘Magpie’ is nothing short of extraordinary. Her ability to embody complex characters and breathe life into their stories is truly commendable. The film is a captivating neo-noir thriller that masterfully explores the intricacies of human relationships, and it’s a testament to Ridley’s talent that she delivers such a compelling performance as Anette.


As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about the buzz surrounding potential new Star Wars films featuring Rey Skywalker, played by Daisy Ridley. However, it’s essential to recall that this talented actress has graced our screens in numerous films beyond the Star Wars saga. For instance, she starred in Murder on the Orient Express and took the lead role in ‘Sometimes I Think About Dying’. Her latest project is ‘Magpie’, a gripping neo-noir thriller that’s not a remake of the 70’s kids ITV show related to Blue Peter, but rather a stylish tale centered around a troubled married couple, Anette and Ben.

Magpie is an engaging, small-scale movie featuring captivating lead performances. It gradually escalates to a fulfilling final act, making it definitely worth seeking out.

During a recent viewing of the movie “Daisy Ridley”, writers Tom Bateman, directors Sam Yates, and co-star Shazad Latif engaged in a conversation, discussing the film, ‘Magpie’.
