Jodie Whittaker and Lesley Manville thriller Ashes is now streaming on Prime Video

The film “Ashes” premiered in 2012, featuring a stellar ensemble of acting talents such as Whittaker, Luke Evans, Jim Sturgess, Ray Winstone, and Lesley Manville.

The movie, recently made accessible on Prime Video for streaming, primarily focuses on Frank, played by Winstone, who’s grappling with Alzheimer’s and resides in a nursing home.

Despite not recalling him, Frank is unexpectedly visited by a man claiming to be his son, James (Sturgess). He yearns for a reconnection with Frank. In a surprising turn of events, they break out Frank from his care facility, leading them on an impromptu adventure. As they delve into the past, they uncover forgotten memories, grapple with feelings of regret, seek revenge, and strive for redemption together.

Initially, the movie “Ashes” flew relatively unnoticed upon its debut, however, viewers now have the opportunity to judge it for themselves.

Whittaker is particularly recognized for playing a significant role in the popular series, Doctor Who. In addition to this, she has recently appeared in Time and Toxic Town.

In the final play written by Jack Thorne, Whittaker portrayed the character of Susan McIntyre, a real-life Corby mother who bravely pursued justice for her son. Born with a limb difference, it was suspected that the town’s mishandling of toxic waste may have been responsible.

Upon the debut of Toxic Town, Whittaker reflected on her portrayal of the Doctor, admitting that she feared she might have “ruined it for future actors.

As I sat down for an interview with The Times, I couldn’t help but reminisce about the unique challenges I faced stepping into the iconic role of The Doctor, a position that had always been held by a white man prior to my tenure. Despite the diverse talents each actor brings to the table, they all seemed to embody a particular archetype – one that I didn’t quite fit into.

She added: “Had Peter Capaldi not been excellent as The Doctor, it would reflect poorly on him. In contrast, I feared that if I weren’t good in this role, I would be ruining opportunities for other actors.

“I think it’s completely unacceptable if that was the case, but that’s how I felt.”
