Spoilers ahead
Marjorie Beaslie, Julie Walters is a housewife in her forties who takes in a lodger named Harold Guppey, Nicholas Hoult who has just wandered into town to look up his long-lost brother. Although she presents as prudish—she no longer sleeps in the same bed as her husband, for “medical reasons”—Marjorie quickly warms to Harold, who is a good twenty years her junior, and the two embark on a clandestine affair. Marjorie insists that Harold address her as “mum,” a detail that adds a troubling oedipal edge to their relationship and unsettles the quiet rhythm of the household.
