Still Life

The long-awaited new film from the producer of “The Full Monty,” this beautifully observed drama is about an optimistic, selfless man who finds joy in helping everyone but himself. John May (Eddie Marsan) is a detail-obsessed South London council worker charged with finding the relatives of people who have died alone. After 22 years on the job, he's shown the way out. His final case – a search for family members of his elderly neighbor – leads him to the departed man’s abandoned daughter Kelly (Joanne Froggatt of “Downton Abbey”). A gem that celebrates dignity, community, and human connections.
