The COVID-19 crisis has seen numerous big breaks put on ice as many cinemas have remained closed and release dates have been pushed further back.
But few can match the potentially career-changing hiatus experienced by Morfydd Clark. The Welsh actress' lead performance as a troubled and God-fearing palliative care nurse in the psychological horror feature Saint Maud, director Rose Glass' feature debut, was one of the major revelations from the Toronto Film Festival in 2019.
Rarely out of shot, Clark flips from deeply lonely, prudish caregiver to unstable zealot with chilling subtlety. A24 quickly pounced on U.S.
rights. But the pandemic has seen the film's release pulled multiple times, first from April, then July. It's now due to hit.
