ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Joseph, a man plagued by violence and a rage that is driving him to self-destruction, earns a chance of redemption that appears in the form of Hannah, a Christian charity shop worker. TYRANNOSAUR, a Sundance Film Festival Directing Award and Special Jury Prize winner, "is the kind of film that leaves you limp, exhausted and feeling battered by the end. But its wrenching performances make the beating worth weathering" (Los Angeles Times). From Director/Writer Paddy Considine (IN AMERICA, HOT FUZZ), it features impeccable performances by Emmy nominee Peter Mullan (WAR HORSE, CHILDREN OF MEN) and Oscar winner Olivia Colman (THE FAVOURITE, THE FATHER).

SYNOPSIS

Joseph is a bitter man who seeks to ease his pain via betting, drinking and raging at anyone unfortunate enough to come into his ambit. One day, Joseph stumbles in to a charity shop, where he is greeted with respect and care by its Christian manager Hannah; he responds with typical vitriol. However, the two gradually form a bond of friendship as they get to know one another.
