Winner of the Golden Globe award for Best Song
New Yorker Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish) is obsessed with the ultimate love story from the past: King Edward VIII’s rejection of the British throne for his lover Wallis Simpson.
Romance drama ‘W.E.’ follows both these women in a two-tier film that travels back and forth through time to reveal that underneath the glamour of the original Royal affair, all was not quite what it seemed.
Directed and co-written by Madonna, ‘W.E’ stars Andrea Riseborough (Resistance) as Wallis and James D’Arcy (Master and Commander) as Edward.
Contains strong language, once very strong, and scenes of domestic violence.
