The Party's Just Beginning

The Party's Just Beginning (2018) is a Scottish drama you can watch online on iFILM. Luisaidh is unravelling in a grey Inverness winter after her best friend's suicide. She fills the silence with drink and loveless hookups — not coping, just buying time.

Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy) directs and stars, with Lee Pace and Matthew Beard alongside her. This is her feature debut, and its best quality is what it refuses to do: there's no redemption arc, no cathartic breakthrough, just a woman trying to figure out how to live with something that won't pass. For a film about that specific kind of stuck, it's brutally honest. Stream The Party's Just Beginning online on iFILM.
