Judy & Punch

2019 • 105 minutes

About this movie

In the anarchic town of Seaside, nowhere near the sea, puppeteers Judy and Punch are trying to resurrect their marionette show. The show is a hit due to Judy's superior puppeteering, but Punch's driving ambition and penchant for whisky lead to an inevitable tragedy that Judy must avenge. In a visceral and dynamic live-action reinterpretation of the famous 17th century puppet show, writer director MIRRAH FOULKES turns the traditional story of Punch and Judy on its head and brings to life a fierce, darkly comic and epic female-driven revenge story, starring MIA WASIKOWSKA and DAMON HERRIMAN.

Ratings and reviews

Been waiting for this to come out since I saw it in November last year. I love it. My favourite horse, Valiant is in the film and I love Mia Wasikowska's role in the movie. I love the scenery in Montsalvat! . The film is worth seeing. It is creatively written and visually, just amazing.

This had so much promise and talented actors but they wasted every opportunity to tell a good story. Very disappointing.

An excellent film. A tale well told, it was well acted and beautifully filmed. Loved it and highly recommend it for discerning viewers.
