We interviewed the ‘Song For a Raggy Boy’ director just days before 'Maudie' screening at TIFF 2016, where she commended the performance of her lead actress Sally Hawkins.

Aisling Walsh, Director:
“Sally can transform herself utterly when she takes on a role. She becomes it. That has been one of the most incredible things about this project.”
