Here’s a film I caught at the tail end of last year and enjoyed quite a bit. While I didn’t do the official review for Hope Gap for the site, we did cover the film at one of the late 2019 festivals (which can be read here). Now, a new trailer has arrived for the film, which will hit cinemas around the world later in the year. Bill Nighy, Annette Bening and the brilliant Josh O’Connor head up the brilliant cast of the film, which is directed by William Nicholson.
