"The Lost King": A Fascinating Tale of Royalty and Obsession.

"The Lost King" is a historical comedy-drama about Philippa Langley, a single mother from Edinburgh who spearheaded the successful search for the grave of King Richard III. Sally Hawkins shines as Philippa, who becomes obsessed with finding Richard's grave and disproving his reputation as a hunchbacked nephew-killer and unworthy usurper. The movie is a warm portrait of a woman who lost her health and found her purpose, exhuming her self-respect along with Richard's bones. Directed by Stephen Frears, the movie is a quietly droll detective story that raises serious questions about the way history is written.
