1953. A London shattered by WWII is still recovering. Mr. Williams (Bill Nighy), a veteran civil servant, is an impotent cog within the city’s bureaucracy as it struggles to rebuild. Buried under paperwork at the office, lonely at home, his life has long felt empty and meaningless. Then a shattering medical diagnosis forces him to take stock – and to try and grasp fulfillment before it goes beyond reach.

“Throughout, Bill Nighy carries the film effortlessly on his slender shoulders, reminding us of why he’s an international treasure.” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

“Oliver Hermanus’ shimmering character with its cinematic beauty and equally beautiful story – and score – will pierce the hardest heart. Nighy has given over to Williams with deep compassion.” – Anne Brodie What She Said
