Oh we can't wait for this one, watch this space for full review soon! pauliepaul

Bill Nighy, Sam Riley, Jenny Agutter, Tim McInnerny and Alice Lowe star in this stylish and heartfelt comedy-drama about a Scrabble-obsessed tailor searching for a lost son. 

"Sharp of suit and vocabulary, Bill Nighy is winningly deadpan as Scrabble-obsessed Merseyside tailor Alan, whose eldest son Michael stormed out of the house after a particularly heated round of the popular board game, never to return. Years later, Alan and his other son Peter (a sensitive turn by Sam Riley) continue the search while trying to repair their own strained relationship." ​

Bill Nighy IMDb Profile

Edwyn Collins

“Edwyn Collins has written two songs for it and did the score with Sean Read (rockingbirds) and Chay Heney (station agent) It's so good.”

Production

Working from a typically witty and astute script by acclaimed screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce (24 Hour Party People), director Carl Hunter deploys a vivid visual style and striking production design to capture the shifting moods of a family who know plenty of words but struggle to communicate. A triple score-worthy supporting cast too! Produced by Hurricane Films and Goldfinch Studios.
