Jessie Buckley wins best actress at Critics Choice Awards

It was on a snowy Sunday afternoon in March 2019 when a gaggle of Irish ­culture writers convened at the Light House ­Cinema in Smithfield for the annual ­Dublin International Film Festival ­Dublin Film Critics’ Circle Awards (a catchy title, I’m sure you’ll agree).
