Olivia Cooke in Pixie.
Olivia Cooke is clearly having a blast in Pixie, a new Irish gangster comedy in which she plays a modern-day femme fatale. The British actress shines as the movie’s title character, a cunning young woman who uses her charms to persuade a group of would-be suitors to help her rob €1 million worth of drugs from a notorious local gang. Mayhem, double-crossings and shootouts naturally ensue.
Shot in Belfast and the west of Ireland last summer, Cooke has fond memories of the experience. “To play a character who was so much fun and have autonomy and is manipulative in the best way and knows the effects that she has on men and uses it to her advantage and doesn't apologise - it’s great!” she says.
