A gripping psychological thriller about obsession and loss. In the vein of BLACK SWAN and THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE. Inspired by real events, suspense thriller ANGEL OF MINE follows divorced mother LIZZIE MANNING, an emotionally imbalanced woman who is battling for custody of her son and juggling her job as a sales rep for a cosmetic line. Her life is turned upside down when she crosses paths with LOLA, a young girl whom she believes to be the daughter she lost seven years ago in a hospital fire. Unable to let her thoughts go, Lizzie first stalks and then shrewdly befriends Lola’s mom CLAIRE BRADLEY, inching her way into Lola’s life, at the expense of her own son and to the bewilderment of her parents. Claire grows suspicious by the discovery that this strange woman has begun systematically following her little girl, locked within the grip of obsession. As Lizzie’s fixation heightens and her behavior becomes increasingly disturbing, Claire confronts Lizzie, bringing deeply buried secrets to the surface and a shockingly devastating truth that connects them both. This film is scheduled to shoot in Melbourne, Australia in April, 2018. ANGEL OF MINE PROPERTY OF GARLIN PICTURES / SIXTYFOURSIXTY PTY. LTD “Don’t ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance, or my kindness for weakness” - Carson Kolhoff ANGEL OF MINE PROPERTY OF GARLIN PICTURES / SIXTYFOURSIXTY PTY. LTD REVIEWS OF THE ORIGINAL FILM. Rotten Tomatoes 86% Approval Rating Empire Magazine “Unsettling thriller with powerful central performances.” The Guardian (UK) “A moving, assured portrayal of a damaged woman in a film following in the coolly measured steps of I’ve Loved You So Long.” The Times “It’s smart, seductive stuff that taps the primal power of maternal grief.” ANGEL OF MINE PROPERTY OF GARLIN PICTURES / SIXTYFOURSIXTY PTY. LTD CAST. ANGEL OF MINE PROPERTY OF GARLIN PICTURES / SIXTYFOURSIXTY PTY. LTD CHARACTERS. LIZZIE MANNING (Noomi Rapace) Late 30’s, pretty, divorced mother who lives with an inner turmoil. She believes that her little daughter, thought by all to have died as an infant, is still alive. Her conviction is absolute, which causes those around her to suspect that she has become unbalanced. She is stressed out. Preoccupied. Tense. Depressed. Obsessive. A staunch believer. Convinced. Maternal. Deeply feeling. Intuitive. Vulnerable. Volatile. Has fantasies. Has visions that some believe are delusions. Cunning. Manipulative. Charming. She is at her wits end. Heartbroken. But carries fervent hope and determination. Nothing will stop her. CLAIRE BRADLEY (Isla Fisher) Late 30’s, attractive, well put together, assured, seemingly calm and yet ultimately deeply calculated and controlling. To the world, Claire has the perfect life with the perfect husband, but none know the deep secret she holds. She is a master manipulator. A consummate liar. A loving mother and a deceitful wife. This doesn’t mean she doesn’t love her husband. She does. Very much. But she wants what she wants. No matter what the cost. She is intolerant of pain. Most of all her own. She lives in denial. She’s idealistic. She has a rationale for everything. Even things that many would deem unforgivable. She is super high functioning, with money, beautiful kids and a great wealthy husband. And she is actually quite lovely. She just has to keep everyone ultimately at a distance to hold onto that which she loves. ANGEL OF MINE PROPERTY OF GARLIN PICTURES / SIXTYFOURSIXTY PTY. LTD ANGEL OF MINE PROPERTY OF GARLIN PICTURES / SIXTYFOURSIXTY PTY. LTD TONE. THEMES. TONE: Thrilling. Tense. Suspenseful. Manic. Heart Stopping. Raw. Real. Wretched. With intense uncensored performances grounded in reality showing the dark underbelly of the female psyche. A bourgeois catfight between lionesses who will kill to protect their cub. Two women on the verge… THEMES: A mother’s intuition is always right. Women just know. It’s an innate instinctual connection between mother and child. Lizzie just knows, beyond logic or reason, that Lola is her daughter. What is questioned so beautifully is whether it is intuition or denial and need that fuel her. It’s a question we all wrestle at times – ‘is it my knowing or my will that drives me?’ Both Claire and Lizzie have the primal urge to parent and protect Lola, illustrating that maternal impulses go beyond bloodlines. Whether an adopted child or one’s own, a mother’s love is insurmountable and immeasurable. We see Claire’s genuine care and love for Lola being as strong as Lizzie’s.
