Daphne

Daphne (2017) is a British comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Peter Mackie Burns built the film around Emily Beecham's performance — a role that earned her Best Actress at the Locarno International Film Festival. Daphne is thirty-something, quick-witted, the loudest person at any party, and completely closed off from anything that might actually matter.

She works long shifts in a London restaurant, drinks through the nights, and keeps everyone at a measured distance. Then she witnesses a stabbing — a stranger knifed in a botched shop robbery — and that single unplanned moment starts pulling her armor apart. Burns keeps the film narrow and unsparing: no tidy arc, no resolution handed over for free. Just a woman running out of places to hide. Stream Daphne (2017) online on iFILM.
