The Lost King (2022 Stephen Frears)

Written by Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope, thus the same team as Philomena. The true story of Philippa Langley, an ME sufferer who became obsessed by Richard III and worked out where she thought he was buried - in a car park in Leicester. In doing so she regains the respect of her separated husband and kids.

It's played by Sally Hawkins, Steve Coogan, Harry Lloyd, Mark Addy, Lee Ingleby, James Fleet and Amanda Abbington.

Not sure the appearances of the King work that well. Wonderful score from Alexandre Desplat. Photographed by Zac Nicholson, edited by Pia di Ciaula.
