Nicola consistently using her public platform to highlight important issues is one of the things I admire most about her.

Love that this one highlights the film’s critical acclaim upon its UK release. It actually opened with a 100% perfect Rotten Tomatoes score!

“While every episode of Derry Girls is complete perfection, the pilot is a chaotic masterpiece.”

The way that the I Am Helen crew describes the show…

There are a lot of reasons I liked GOAT.

One of them is because it’s a movie about a co-ed, full-contact sport where the most legendary player is a woman. And a young boy is seen idolizing that woman so much it’s a defining part of his character, but no one ever gives him grief or says he should look up to a boy.

Sure they’re all animals but I still appreciate the message.

This talented cast!

TPOTWW continues playing at cinemas around the world, with so much demand at some (like this one!) that encore screenings are being added.

“At the domestic box office, $100 million remains a benchmark that effectively defines a blockbuster.”

Yes Nicola 👏

"If you were at the birthday land, what would you wish for?"

"Maybe I would like hang out with Silky, Nicola Coughlan. Amazing fairy. Very kind. She teaches dancing in the film and I think she could maybe teach me to dance at last.” - TMFT Director Ben Gregor

“Here is the thing about The Magic Faraway Tree that nobody is really leading with: this movie was written by Simon Farnaby, the same guy who co-wrote Paddington 2. That should tell you everything. Paddington 2 is one of the warmest, funniest, most quietly devastating family films of the last decade, and Farnaby has basically been handed an entire enchanted forest to work with this time.”

“Andrew Garfield plays the dad, Tim, and Claire Foy plays Polly, and this is their first time sharing the screen since 2017's Breathe. That reunion alone would be enough to sell the movie to anyone who saw them together in that one.”

“The supporting cast is almost unfair. Nicola Coughlan plays Silky, Nonso Anozie is Moonface, Jessica Gunning is Dame Washalot, and Rebecca Ferguson clearly had the time of her life playing the villain Dame Snap. Then there is the small matter of Judi Dench playing a sentient fridge. Not a metaphor. An actual fridge.”

In 2026:

GOAT has made nearly $200 million worldwide at the box office and had more than one billion minutes streamed in its first week on Netflix

The Magic Faraway Tree was the #1 UK independent film at the Q1 2026 UK-Ireland box office and got two sequels greenlit even before it opened in the U.S.

Currently filming an unannounced feature directed by Icíar Bollain and written by Paul Laverty, both critically acclaimed, award-winning talents

and just for good measure

The Playboy of the Western World got a stunning pro shot released in cinemas worldwide (and still rolling out globally), leading one reviewer to declare: “However good you think Nicola Coughlan is, quadruple it.”
