Dir. Craig Roberts, UK, 2021, 102 mins. Cast. Mark Rylance, Sally Hawkins, Rhys Ifans.
Truth is funnier than fiction in this delightful and effortlessly charming tribute to Maurice Flitcroft, the ‘world’s worst golfer’. At the age of 46, happy-go-lucky crane operator and all-round lovable family man Maurice Flitcroft feels it’s time to try his hand at something new. Deciding that golf is his new calling and in a turn of events that you couldn’t make up, he secures a coveted spot in the qualifying round of the 1976 British Open. There’s only one problem: he has never played a round in his life. Craig Roberts’ film is a heartfelt celebration of an eternal optimist who never let his sporting inadequacies stand in the way of his dreams.
