The Dig
Ralph Fiennes is superb
as an archaeologist hired
by a wealthy widow
(Carey Mulligan) in
Simon Stone’s film about
the Sutton Hoo dig of- The film is a bit like
an archaeological dig
itself, with flashes of
melodrama — a widow, a
fatherless boy, a terminal
illness, a plane crash —
but it digs into something
rich and satisfying. TSFILMS OF 2021Watch now at: Netflix
