About Abigail’s Party

When Beverly, the self-appointed queen of suburban entertaining, invites her neighbours over for drinks, the evening quickly spirals into a masterclass in passive aggression, social awkwardness, and tragic small talk.

But beneath the polyester charm and awkward chatter, tensions simmer as the group becomes increasingly fixated on the mysterious “Abigail’s party” happening next door. The more they hear about it, the more unbearable the evening becomes—until the polite veneer of 1970s hospitality starts to crack entirely.

Written by Mike Leigh, this cult classic remains a brutally funny portrait of aspiration, status anxiety, and suburban performance.
