W.E.

W.E.

Madonna made her directorial debut with Filth and Wisdom back in 2008 and now she is back with her new movie W.E.

She has a great young cast with the experienced hands such as James D'Arcy and Abbie Cornish as well as up and omcing star Andrea Riseborough - she has already made her mark this year with Brighton Rock and that looks set to continue.

The movie is a passionate tale about the search for true love in the modern world, viewed through the prism of one of history's most fabled romances. 

The year is 1998, and Manhattan is abuzz with anticipation about the upcoming auction of the estate of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. 

But the auction is far more than a diversion for Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish), a transplanted Southerner trapped in an unhappy and abusive marriage. 

Transfixed by the exquisite artifacts of the Windsors' lives, Wally becomes obsessed with the love story of Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough), the chic, charismatic American who captured the heart of King Edward VIII (James D'Arcy).  

As she learns more about the sacrifices Wallis made in choosing to be with Edward, Wally finds the courage to follow her own heart and create her own happiness. 

W.E. is released 20th January
