6/10

Good but there was a lot left out.

All in all The Lost King was a very watchable film, With great performances from Sally Hawkin's and a very restrained Steve Coogan.

But I would recommend watching The king in the car Park documentary afterwards as this really has more hard facts regarding the excavation of King Richards body. Philippa Langley wasn't exactly ignored or used by Leicester university.

She was in fact very much the public face of the dig and research. In fact the documentary presented by Simon Farnaby who's presence is pretty much absent from the film puts Philippa front and centre, and it also shows that her personnel emotions were sometimes getting in the way of the actual work.

The one thing the Lost king does well is explain Phillipa's mental state as in the said documentary she seemed over emotional, but I had no Idea about her ME and depression. The film also has a great idea of showing Philippa's relationship with her imaginary King Richard and her obsession with finding him.

The Lost King is a good film, I just wish they hadn't exaggerated the academic villainy and given a little more credit where credit was due.. This isn't Hollywood this is the UK.

There was some mild controversy prior to this films' UK release when several people involved in the archaeological dig gave interviews to some UK newspapers (notably The Guardian and Daily Mail) disputing the events depicted in the film and accused the scriptwriters of romanticizing and overplaying the role of Philippa Langley ( as played by Sally Hawkins) in the actual locating and discovery of Richard III's resting place. This criticism prompted the film's producer, co-writer and co-star Steve Coogan to give an interview to the BBC defending the story-line of the film and accusing the University of Leicester of trying to discredit the role Langley played in the discovery and believing that, despite Langley being an amateur, they were embarrassed she had out-thought several of their renowned historical experts and they were not happy that this was portrayed within the film.

Philippa Langley's ex-husband and two sons go to a local cinema to see the James Bond 007 movie SKYFALL, before King Richard III's body was exhumed in September 2012. However the London première of SKYFALL was on the 23rd of October 2012.
