Film Description

When victors write the history of the defeated, accuracy is not their intent. Not content with just disparaging King Richard III, his detractors buried him without a marker. Philippa Langley (Sally Hawkins), a writer disoriented after divorce, comes upon the Richard III Society and flings herself into the search for his long-lost grave. Her journey parallels King Richard’s fate as experts and bureaucrats cast doubt on this enthusiastic amateur.

REVIEWS

It makes for a light, cosy history lesson, and there’s much to admire here: Coogan and [Jeff] Pope’s screenplay is warmly written, propped up by a pleasingly jaunty Hitchcockian score.

–John Nugent, Empire
