My Policeman (2022 Michael Grandage)

In flashback to 1957 Brighton, we learn that Gina McKee's husband Linus Roache had an affair with art historian Rupert Everett - now the latter's had a stroke and McKee is nursing him in their home, Roache won't even talk to him.

Their former selves are Emma Corrin (The Crown), Harry Styles and David Dawson - the casting is good.

The wife's known about this all along, but was unable to cope with it.

It's OK, didn't really feel that involved, didn't really need the sex scenes. Nicely shot by Ben Davis again, and I didn't notice a single thing about Chris Dickens' editing.

Written by Ron Nyswaner, based on Bethan Roberts' novel.


I'm reminded of that Monty Python sketch...
