Why watch this film?

Simon Farnaby does an amazing job with the screenplay of this comedy, which showcases the life of Maurice Flitcroft (Rylance), a crane operator and amateur golfer from northern England who seeks to enter the British Open golf championship in 1976, where he is known as "the world's worst golfer". The film has a beautiful and unique message about the craziest dreams and the strength we find in family to achieve them.
