My Policeman (15)
Dir. Michael Grandage, UK, 2022, 113 mins. Cast. Harry Styles, Emma Corrin, Gina McKee, Linus Roache, David Dawson, Rupert Everett.
In late 1990s Brighton, married couple Marion and Tom welcome terminally ill old friend Patrick into their home. As years of unresolved feelings resurface, the ice between the two men will not thaw. Some 40 years earlier, on that same British coastline, schoolteacher Marion met charismatic copper Tom and they instantly fell in love. But Marion wasn’t the only one powerless to Tom’s cheeky charms. The couple’s new friend, art historian Patrick was also rather smitten with him. As burgeoning desires lead to passionate affairs, simmering jealousies surfaced that would ultimately tear the trio apart. This perfectly pitched romance is the kind of decades-spanning tearjerker we see all too rarely. Michael Grandage has crafted a love story that is epic in scope, but intimate in its attention to detail.
