As a young student, J.R.R. Tolkien finds love, friendship, and artistic inspiration among a group of fellow outcasts. Their brotherhood soon strengthens as Tolkien weathers the storm of a tumultuous courtship with Edith Bratt and the outbreak of World War I. These early life experiences later inspire the budding author to write the classic fantasy novels “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings.”
On its surface, “Tolkien” (2019, 112 min) is about all of the bits of the author’s life that influenced his grand fantasy world … Yet, it is much more than such literary references. It is a film about love and friendship.
