TYRANNOSAUR takes an unflinching look at one man's submission to rage and violence emotions that threaten to consume him. Widower Joseph (Mullan) is bitter and angry at the world, beating his dog to death and lashing out at youths. Running from the kids he has needlessly aggressed, he takes shelter in a charity shop where he meets good Christian Hannah (Colman). Can she help Joseph emerge from his self-destructive spiral, or will her own dark secrets destroy them both? Themes of redemption, domestic violence and religion are woven together for this intense yet compelling drama a bold piece of British cinema that places Considine firmly alongside the likes of Mike Leigh.
