Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: Honorable Mentions - The Phantom of the Open (dir. Craig Roberts)

This was unbelievably charming. Mark Rylance has a softness to him that he seems to able to play in any way he wants you to believe, and he sells it here with a character that it's almost impossible not to love. A golf movie that's not really about golf at all, but about how much heart and determination you put into doing what you want to do. That even if you're not very good (horrible, even) at what you love, as long as you put your whole self into and have fun, it doesn't really matter how good you are. There's also a commentary about the elitism of the golf industry thrown in there for good measure, so that's good as well. I was a particular fan of these dream sequences sprinkled throughout the film that are presented like a film from the 60s or 70s that, while stylistically inconsistent with a lot of the rest of the film, match up very well thematically and bring an even further sense of wonder to the story. This one is just a light-hearted, good time, that took me completely by surprise.

The Phantom of the Open (2022, dir. Craig Roberts) - review by Rookie-Critic

The Phantom of the Open was a disarmingly charming film about an overtly charming and incredibly infamous man in the history of golf. Mark Rylance is absolutely wonderful at playing Maurice Flitcroft, the man who managed to sneak his way into playing in the 1976 British Open without having ever played a single round of golf in his life at the age of 46. Sally Hawkins, Jake Davies, and Christian & Jonah Lees also give excellent performances as his decidedly less, but still very quirky wife and kids. This was, as I said before, charming. It was hilarious, and it's one of those films that just makes you feel good. It's not trying too hard to aggrandize or demonize or poke fun, it just presents its story and characters plainly as they were and lets you draw your own conclusions from it. However, I don't see how anyone can not just love this guy, there's really not anything to dislike. One exception I'll say to the "presenting its story plainly" bit are a few dream-like sequences throughout the movie during some of Maurice's more revelatory moments. These sequences are shot with all the cinematography and staging of an older film (I think there might even be some added film grain in there) and it really helps sell those sequences in contrast to the more plainly presented nature of the rest of the film. This one is just a very good-natured, sweet film and a must see for golf fans, but still a fantastic and well-worth-it watch for everyone else.

Score: 9/10
