Chivalry (2022 Steve Coogan, Sarah Solemani)

Directed by Marta Cunningham. DP Andy Strahorn, editors Mark Keady, Richard Ketteridge.

There's a ridiculous episode where everyone panders to the needs of the stand-in for a sex scene - I would have just fired him (he's late to set, for one thing). I mean I know where they're going, sort of attacking the We've Got To Be So Careful mood of the times, but that was just ridiculous. So, only a partially successful attempt to puncture the #MeToo movement.

Luckily the story of an indie film maker Sarah Solemani and producer Coogan gets more interesting, particularly when it involves foul-mouthed and acidic exec producer Wanda Sykes (Monster-in-Law, Bad Moms).


6 x 30m for Channel 4.
