Ottawa Premiere!

A brilliant young fund manager leaves her unfulfilling job and long-term boyfriend to chase her lifelong dream of becoming an opera singer in the Scottish Highlands.

From Sundance: Audience Award, MIll Valley Film Festival: Audience Award, and 3x Australian Film Institute award winning director Ben Lewin! Starring Hamptons International Film Festival award winner Danielle Macdonald, 4x BAFTA winner Joanna Lumley, & Flaiano Film Festival award winner Gary Lewis!

“Macdonald is incredibly appealing, equally vulnerable and strong, and her acting during her performances sets a standard to which all opera singers should aspire…Mix in some lovely location shooting and amusing competition scenes, and whether or not you’re an opera fan, you might find yourself falling for Falling for Figaro.” (Alliance of Women Film Journalists)

“This delightful movie has all the ingredients needed to make a delicious romantic comedy. Falling for Figaro is uplifting and joyful, tugging on the heart strings just enough, while throwing in some mild jeopardy to keep us hooked. Stunning Scottish scenery, a stirring opera soundtrack, and a warm, funny script set the tone for this gently inspiring story. Macdonald is perfectly cast as Millie, balancing drive and determination with positivity and empathy, while Skinner is delightful as Max” (Common Sense Media)
