Making its world premiere at Toronto International Film Festival 2022, The Lost King is Stephen Frears' newest movie since 2017's Victoria & Abdul. It stars Sally Hawkins as Philippa Langley, who, fresh off a divorce and currently dealing with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome), finds herself drawn to King Richard III, specifically, on his demonization (as a result of 500 years of continued misinformation) as a cruel monarch. What starts as a curiosity soon turns into a steadfast determination to uncover his long-lost remains and retell his story. The Lost King traces Philippa's story as an amateur historian and the hurdles she jumps through — from the misogynistic to the bureaucratic — as the past meets the present.
