Sometimes Always Never seems as though it was made for Nighy's particular thespianic arsenal. A comedy-drama about a lexicologically adroit tailor, the movie weaves clever writing with an emotional payoff. Although only a meager box office success, the film was generally well received, with particular adulation aimed at the performances of the cast...
William Nicholson's work can tend to be a bit melodramatic, but it certainly makes a fine stage for quality acting. Here, in Hope Gap, the flaws of the film are swept away as Nighy and co-star Annette Beningprove to be an electric duo. Circling a long-married couple whose lives upend when the husband decides to leave, the film makes little changes ...
If a movie has as much style as The Constant Gardener, it's only fitting Bill Nighy plays a role. One of the best political thrillers of the 2000s, The Constant Gardener merges a sharp and fluent script with the ravishing and delectable color palette of Fernando Meirelles. In the film, about a British diplomat who tries to solve the murder of his a...

There is searing propulsion to Notes on a Scandal, an adaptation of the Zoe Heller novel. Starring Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench, the acting is of course A plus. But just as much, the story itself is fascinating, a psychologically hypnotizing tale of power and lust. Adapted by playwright Patrick Marber, the movie is an operatic and vicious delight....
Some directors have a powerful investment in casting. Maybe they write with actors in mind, maybe they care about the meta-textual elements of the casting, or maybe they just want their favorite actors in their movies. Edgar Wright is one of those directors, and his first film Shaun of the Deadpays homage to many of his favorite things. A comedy-ho...
In many ways, About Time opened Nighy up to a broader audience. A box office success, grossing over $88 million, the movie is right in line with many of Richard Curtis' other classic rom-coms, but with a fanciful twist. Concerning a young man in love who finds out he has the ability to time travel, Nighy plays one of the film's pivotal roles as the...

A vignetted gallery for writer-director Richard Curtis, the rom-com follows multiple interlinked characters as they navigate love at Christmastime. Alongside some of the foremost British actors, Ni...
David Hare's Worricker Trilogy is essentially the culmination of Nighy as an actor. Spanning three films, 2011's Page Eight as well as 2014's Turks and Caicos andSalting the Battlefield, Nighy plays Johnny Worricker, a worldly and dashing MI5 agent. All three films are beyond excellent as Hare's heady and intoxicating dialogue fuses with dapper vis...

Adapted by eminent Japanese writer Kazuo Ishiguro, the movie is a devoted portrait of a dying man. Living h...
