How to watch To Leslie – is it on Netflix?
Andrea Riseborough's Oscar nomination for the under-the-radar drama has got film fans scrambling to watch it.
One of the biggest surprises to come out of the 2023 Oscar nominations has surely got to be Andrea Riseborough's nod in the Best Actress category for To Leslie.
Until a couple of weeks ago, Riseborough's name hadn't been widely mentioned in the conversation regarding the category, and she had not received a traditional awards campaign.
Instead, Riseborough's nomination likely came as a result of a social media and word-of-mouth campaign from famous stars including Cate Blanchett, Edward Norton and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Because of To Leslie's nomination, film fans will now likely be flocking to catch the under-the-radar drama before the Oscars ceremony. But how can viewers in the UK watch it?
