Exclusive: “I wasn’t shown the script ever!” Nichola Burley and Roxanne Scrimshaw on beautiful, thrilling and timely Lynn + Lucy

lynn and lucy cast interviews

To celebrate the release of Lynn & Lucy, which debuts on BFI Player this Friday, we had the chance to sit down with its leads to chat about a film that you won’t stop talking about once it’s over.

Directed by Fyzal Boulifa, Lynn & Lucy are lifelong friends and their relationship is as giving and intense as any normal relationship but when a tragedy besets them both, their rock-solid foundations are shaken to the core and nothing for the pair will ever be the same. Nichola Burley (Lucy) and Roxanne Scrimshow (Lynn, her screen debut) talk about the reactions to the film so far, why people will not be able to stop talking about it once you leave the cinema (or, in this case, living room) and the touching, profound but ultimately difficult story that’s impossible to take your eyes off.

You can watch the full interview below:

Lynn & Lucy is available on BFI Player from Friday, July 3rd.
