Though it is his towering bravura performance in ‘Withnail and I’ that Richard E Grant is rightly known for he has a whole load of other films with great performances too and The Lesson trailer looks like it will be another to add and might even be awards contender.
Liam (Daryl McCormack), an aspiring and ambitious young writer, eagerly accepts a tutoring position at the family estate of his idol, renowned author J.M. Sinclair (Academy Award nominee Richard E. Grant). But soon, Liam realizes that he is ensnared in a web of family secrets, resentment, and retribution. Sinclair, his wife Hélène (Academy Award nominee Julie Delpy), and their son Bertie (Stephen McMillan) all guard a dark past, one that threatens Liam’s future as well as their own. As the lines between master and protégé blur, class, ambition, and betrayal become a dangerous combination in this taut noir thriller.
Directed by Alice Troughton a veteran of TV drama series and written by Alex MacKeith who makes their debut feature here. Grant was Oscar nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’ and perhaps his performance here might go the same way too.
The Lesson is released on 22nd September 2023
