Tolkien (2019) PG-13 | 1h 52min | Biography, Drama | 20 June 2019 (Germany)

Tolkien explores the childhood of the orphaned writer as he finds friendship, love and inventive inspiration amongst a gaggle of fellow outcasts in school. This takes him into the outbreak of World War I, which threatens to tear the “fellowship” aside. All of those experiences would encourage Tolkien to write down his well-known Middle-Earth novels.
