Paddy Considine (for the GOT nerds), Samantha Morton (won as Oscar for this) are in it along with a very good Djimon Hounsou (nominated for an Oscar for this).
This one is probably one of the best movies I've watched/re-watched in recent memory.

I do love this one. You'll get the full gamut of emotions watching it. The carnival scene is one of the most stressful scenes I've watched in a movie.
It's available on Disney+ if anyone's interested in watching it.
