Dallas and Lee turn their attention to A24's last films of 2019, In Fabric and Uncut Gems.
In Fabric is written and directed by Peter Strickland and is a haunting ghost story set against the backdrop of a busy winter sales period in a department store, following the life of a cursed dress as it passes from person to person, with devastating consequences.
