El gran Maurice

Anchored by an impish Mark Rylance, it takes its cue from the story’s hero: a bit ramshackle, very amiable, always watchable.

Brit sporting underdog movie right on par.

There’s an earnestness to Rylance’s performance, which encourages us to find inspiration in the underdog.

...pits a blended family against an impossible dream and is unafraid to lean into the world’s harshness.

Mark Rylance scores some farcical laughs as real-life mediocrity Maurice Flitcroft, but his family life gives the movie heart.
