About this movie

A DATE FOR MAD MARY tells the story of ‘Mad’ Mary McArdle returning to Drogheda after a short spell in prison – for something she’d rather forget. Back home, everything and everyone has changed. Her best friend, Charlene, is about to get married and Mary is maid of honor. When Charlene refuses Mary a ‘plus one’ on the grounds that she probably couldn’t find a date, Mary becomes determined to prove her wrong. But her attempts at dating are a disaster and she winds up feeling more alone… until she meets Jess and everything changes.

Ratings and reviews

Insightful and Moving For me, the movie is not just another LGBT work. Indeed, I feel that the world needs them, however, I think that the director focuses on the want for social connection as a whole by the protagonist and how she reacts to change. I dare say that I am impressed! I believe that the use of symbolism in the film is creative. Also, I feel that the editing of the movie excels above that in most of the films from the United States of America. If one is searching for a work with meaning, heart and intelligence performed by well-skilled actors and actresses, do not look any further than A Date for Mad Mary. It is one of my top selections for the best film of 2017!
