The Lost King

Starring Sally Hawkins & Steve Coogan: In this inspiring true story, amateur historian Philippa Langley believes she has made the archeological find of the century: the lost burial site of King Richard III. She takes on Britain’s most eminent historians, forcing them to rethink the legacy of one of the most controversial rulers in English history.

The 81-year-old Frears, who has enjoyed an illustrious career, once again achieves excellent work, the performances are impeccable, and this story of a lost King proves to be a riveting yarn.

A modest but thoroughly captivating tale that has the look and feel of so many good British films of 25 or 30 years ago, a quality that can no doubt be significantly attributed to that reliable all-rounder Stephen Frears at the helm.
