ABOUT THE FILM:

Reuniting after six years, former university flatmates/current young professionals Hannah (Katrin Cartlidge) and Annie (Lynda Steadman) confront old friends and haunts as they tour London in search of Hannah’s prospective new apartment. As the memories flood back Leigh compares past and present: Annie has gained confidence in overcoming her chronic self-consciousness, while the once-aggressive Hannah has developed a mature empathy to match her sturdy independence. But even as Hannah and Annie re-establish their bond, certain wounds—including those inflicted by a mutual love interest (Joe Tucker)—remain. With CAREER GIRLS Leigh once more proves a master at balancing the sad and the sweet as he charts his characters’ winding, intersecting paths through adulthood.
