Movie Info

Just when everyone thought she was down for the count, lost to drugs and unable to afford anything, Irish folk singer Maggie Sheridan (Helen Mirren) avenges the death of her landlord, who was killed for her vast art collection.

Along the way, she pulls her wrecked life together and even falls in love with a dashing count.
