Bridge of Spies (2015 Steven Spielberg)

Matt Charman uncovered the story of James Donovan, who organised the freeing of 9000 people in Cuba, which led him to this story first. Then the Coen Brothers came in to write the Tom Hanks character more vividly. The relationship between him and Rylance ('Aren't you worried?' - 'Would it help?' is great.)

I thought John Williams was sounding like Thomas Newman at the bridge scene - turns out it was Thomas Newman. Great score. I thought I'd given up playing that game... Seriously amazing photography from Janusz Kaminski.

Mark Rylance is the sympathetic spy.

I would have been tempted to end it on Hanks, collapsed on the bed, a great final image, one that's been set up all along.
