Feat. Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell, Richard Madden…; Musical biopic with Taron Egerton playing Elton John, capturing the flamboyant and troubled extremes of his life. Set in his early years when he was a prodigy at the Royal Academy of Music, and exploring the development of his creative relationship with lyricist Bernie Taupin. A heartfelt and hugely…
Aftermath, The (2019): Dir. James Kent

Keira Knightley, Jason Clarke, Alexander Skarsgard; Period melodrama of some distinction due to its strong cast, set in postwar Germany in 1945, where a British colonel and his wife move into a requisitioned house in the ruined city of Hamburg but face tensions with the architect who previously owned the house.
