The Lost King: dir Stephen Frears (2022)

Based on a true story – the discovery of the remains of Richard III under a Leicester car park in 2021 – this is the story of amateur historian Philippa Langley (Sally Hawkins at her best), whose passion and research were met with scepticism by the academic establishment. A tale of discovery, obsession, and stolen glory (both then and now), The Lost King is a magical adventure illuminated by one woman’s awakened sense of purpose. It’s beautifully acted and very well directed, too.
