When a working-class man named Maurice Flitcroft (Mark Rylance, Dunkirk, Bridge of Spies)
decides to follow his dreams of becoming a golfer, no one believes him when he says he’ll make
it to the British Open. In 1976, he did just that and proceeded to golf the worst recorded score in
professional golf history. What follows is a story about eternal optimism, pursuing your dreams,
and the unflinching support families give to one another. Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water,
Spencer) gives a heartrending performance as Jean Flitcroft, Maurice’s wife and biggest
exponent. This story about a man-turned–cult legend will inspire you as much as it’ll make your
cheeks hurt
