The Phantom of the Open (2022 Craig Roberts)

Screenplay Simon Farnaby (Paddington 2), Scott Murray, based on a true story. Perhaps the resistance of the elder son who eventually rejoins the fold is a little clichéd.

Another delicious performance from  Mark Rylance who in barely believable circumstances keeps entering the Davis Cup in disguise, becomes an (inter)national hero. With Sally Hawkins, Jake Davies, Christian and Jonah Lees, Mark Lewis Jones, Rhys Ifans, Simon Farnaby, Johann Myers, Steve Oram.

Energetically directed and edited (by Jonathan Amos). DP Kit Fraser. Music by Isobel Waller-Bridge. Good fun.
