Film review: The Lost King

Frustratingly, though, Frears is so blunt in his efforts to make this a populist underdog story in which she's sidelined in her own endeavour that he stacks the decks in Philippa's favour by turning virtually every academic expert she encounters into a snivelling, treacherous, elitist moustache-twirler.
