The Lost King, review: Steve Coogan's comedy about the discovery of King Richard III is no Philomena". iNews. 2022-10-07. Archived from the original on 2022-10-07 . Retrieved 2022-10-07. Hawkins navigates us through all of this expertly. We have sympathy for her character even as we recognize that she's a "difficult" person. She's touchy and twitchy. She speaks up at "inappropriate" times. (Inappropriate in quotes, because it all depends on who it's inappropriate to.) She is an unlikely hero, and yet, she ends up a hero to herself and her family. (The world at large is another story.)

The Lost King

Bruce Fummey as Hamish; a member of the Richard III Society who encourages Langley to follow her dreams and undertake her own research.

The script includes the character of Richard III himself, who appears to Philippa as a largely quiet character, seemingly holding her to account for her actions. To me, this device was really not needed. Philippa's own explanations for what she's doing are strong enough reasons to follow her story avidly; we don't need a "cute" device like a phantom king.Living in Edinburgh, Philippa Langley loses a work promotion to a less experienced and better-looking woman. She unsuccessfully confronts her male boss about being passed over and also appeals that her myalgic encephalomyelitis (or "ME") has never affected her work. Distraught, her ex-husband John, who helps with their two teenage boys, tells her to keep her job as they need the money. a b Bradshaw, Peter (2022-09-09).
