Recently released in the UK the movie Tamara Drewe was filmed on location throughout Dorset. Not only has Tamara Drewe received glowing reviews but it also brings a glimpse of rural Dorset to many who have never visited the county.

Acclaimed director, Stephen Frears (THE QUEEN) brings to life Posy Simmonds’ comic strip, serialised in The Guardian from 2005-2007, starring Gemma Arterton (ST TRINIAN’S, QUANTUM OF SOLACE) as glamorous newspaper columnist Tamara Drewe and Dominic Cooper (MAMMA MIA!, AN EDUCATION).
Once a shy and unattractive teenager from a small rural idyll, Tamara’s past catches up with her when she returns the village and has to face an old flame. With a rock star boyfriend back in London she gets caught in a love triangle and becomes the focus of gossiping locals.
