The Sense of an Ending

“Unravel the truth.”

In present-day London, Tony Webster (Jim Broadbent) has settled into a quiet retirement, running a small camera shop and keeping up with his ex-wife Margaret (Harriet Walter) and daughter Susie (Michelle Dockery). Then a bequest arrives from a stranger, a legacy that drags him back to his school days and to Veronica Ford (Charlotte Rampling). Ritesh Batra moves between the old man and his younger self, letting the two timelines sit side by side.
