Meet Maurice Flitcroft (Mark Rylance again, bookending this Spring’s film season), a dreamer and unrelenting optimist, who managed to gain entry to the 1976 British Open Golf Championship qualification round, despite never having previously played a round of golf. He’s strongly supported by his equally adorable wife (Sally Hawkins) in this totally bonkers—but still absolutely true—story. And he doesn’t stop with 1976 Open. Not to be missed, even if golf isn’t your cup of tee.
