‘Dragonfly’ review: Andrea Riseborough and Brenda Blethyn give wings to Paul Andrew Williams’ neighborhood drama – Tribeca Film Festival
Andrea Riseborough and Brenda Blethyn in 'Dragonfly'Lissa Haines-Beardow/Two Bungalow Films Paul Andrew Williams’s feature debut was called London to Brighton(2006), but the British director has never been much interested in capital cities.
