Closing Night

The Lost King

The news 10 years ago that the remains of King Richard III of Shakespeare fame were uncovered under a Leicester parking lot inspired this whimsical film about the real-life amateur historian sleuth Philippa Langley whose dream is realized by the monarch’s exhumation. Created by director Stephen Frears and writer-actor Steve Coogan, the team behind Philomena, it shares an inspirational tone with their earlier film that will have you rooting for Philippa as she butts heads with the archaeological establishment. Sally Hawkins is perfection in the role. Is there any actress of her generation so willing or adept at showing vulnerability?
