Synopsis
Tyrannosaur (2011) is a British drama you can watch online on iFILM — the directing debut of actor Paddy Considine, and a ferocious one. Peter Mullan stars as Joseph, a grieving widower whose temper leaves wreckage everywhere he goes.
He drinks. He lashes out. He destroys the few things he still cares about. One bad day he ducks into a Christian charity shop to hide, and meets Hannah, the gentle woman who runs it, played by Olivia Colman. A fragile bond forms between them. But Hannah's calm, churchgoing surface conceals a home life far uglier than Joseph could guess, and her secret slowly tears the film open.
Colman won a British Independent Film Award for the role, and Considine took the directing prize at Sundance. Fair warning: this is hard, unsentimental work about rage and domestic abuse, with two of the most truthful performances you'll find. It earns every bruise. Stream Tyrannosaur online on iFILM.
