BIG LITTLE LIES

GLOSSY FEMALE-LED THRILLER

Unmissable classy thriller starring Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and Zoë Kravitz, which rightly won a clutch of awards and almost single-handedly showed there is a huge audience for brilliant stories about middle-aged women. The story is told with flashbacks in a rich California suburb, and starts with a murder — but we don’t know who the victim is. The original novel was written by Liane Moriarty, whose Nine Perfect Strangers launched on Channel 4 last week.
