That we’re watching John Lithgow go on about oral sex and Olivia Colman chatting about polyamory with her teenage child make the film that much odder.

How do you capture a life? After all, there is nothing more breathtakingly vast than an existence full of joy, pain, pleasure and agony. Doing so is an immense undertaking that requires honesty and care in equal measure as we must look deeply at someone to expose all of what made them who they are without also hiding all of what can be many rough edges.
