The Phantom of the Open Review: Mark Rylance Astounds in a Fantastic Film

In the 1976 British Open, Maurice Flitcroft, a crane operator turned aspiring golfer, shot the worst qualifying round in the tournament's history. He would then be dubbed "the worst golfer in the world" as he gained global fame for continually crashing the prestigious event. Based on the biography from Simon Farnaby, The Phantom of the Open tells the hilarious and truly heartwarming story of a kind man brimming with optimism. He's portrayed with a casual brilliance by the consummate thespian, Mark Rylance. Flitcroft refused to be defined by harsh criticism, mockery, and the scorn of an elitist golf culture. His irrepressible attitude, always supported by his doting wife Jean (Sally Hawkins), will leave you grinning from ear to ear.
