My Policeman

[Opens Oct. 21 in theaters and available Nov. 4 on Amazon Prime Video.] Amazing cinematography, scenery, and acting dominate Michael Grandage's captivating, poignant, well-written, heartbreaking, bittersweet, nonlinear, thought-provoking, 113-minute film based on Bethan Roberts' 2012 novel that begins in 1999 after a retired British schoolteacher (Gina McKee) decides to nurse a stroke-afflicted art museum curator (Rupert Everett), who her bisexual policeman husband (Linus Roache) has loved for years, at their home on the Brighton coast and then through diaries reminisces about the threesomes complicated relationship 40 years earlier in the late 1950s when homosexuality was illegal and dangerous and the marriage of the young couple (Harry Styles and Emma Corrin) was threatened by the charming, gay curator (David Dawson) and their secret trysts.
