Entering UK cinemas on the 10th of June Learning to Drive is riding high on a very positive festival run over the last year and a half.
Written by Sarah Kernochan and directed by Isabel Coixet this look and love, loss and driving lessons stars Sir Ben Kingsley, Paticia Clarkson and The Newsroom’s Grace Gummer.

As these two lives intersect, both will change in unpredictable ways
