In the anarchic town of Seaside, nowhere near the sea, puppeteers Judy (Wasikowska) and Punch (Herriman) 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 whiskey lead to an inevitable tragedy that Judy must avenge.
In a visceral and dynamic live-action reinterpretation of the famous 16th-century puppet show, writer-director Mirrah Foulkes (Animal Kingdom) 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.
The movie also stars Terry Norris (Mortal Engines), Gillian Jones (Mad Max: Fury Road), Tom Budge (Son of a Gun), Benedict Hardie (Hacksaw Ridge), and Lucy Velik (The Ex-PM).
