“Boasting vivid performances from Peter Mullan and Olivia Colman, Paddy Considine’s sober, composed treatment of masculine violence and self-destruction marks an auspicious debut feature.” – Trevor Johnston, SIGHT AND SOUND
Joseph (Peter Mullan, TRAINSPOTTING, CHILDREN OF MEN) is an unemployed widower with a drinking problem, a man crippled by his own volatile temperament and furious anger. Hannah (Olivia Colman, THE IRON LADY, HOT FUZZ) is a Christian worker at a charity shop, a respectable woman who seems wholesome and happy. When circumstance brings the pair together, Hannah appears as Joseph’s guardian angel, tempering his fury and offering him warmth, kindness and acceptance. As their relationship develops, Hannah’s own secrets are revealed — her husband (Eddie Marsan, SHERLOCK HOLMES, HAPPY-GO-LUCKY) is violent and abusive — and Joseph emerges as her unlikely savior. A gritty, understated film with incredible performances throughout, TYRANNOSAUR is a deeply felt story that announces the presence of actor-turned-writer/director Paddy Considine as a major force among the new wave of European filmmakers.
