Outfit The (2022 Graham Moore & coscr)

Moore wrote The Imitation Game. This sure feels like a play. Not just a play, a one location play. Inspired by his grandfather, a kindly small-town doctor who had a 'notorious mobster' for a patient. It was shot in London. Mark Rylance, Zoey Deutch, Dylan O'Brien, Johnny Flynn (Fleming in Operation Mincemeat), Simon Russell Beale, Nikki Amuka-Bird.

It's a game of chess, as Rylance outmanoeuvres his opponents, enjoyable. The very ending, where supposedly dead Flynn comes back to life, is a bit much.


Music by Alexandre Desplat, photographed by Dick Pope, edited by William Goldenberg, production design Gemma Jackson.
