Britain's Charlotte Rampling, a hot pick for best actress, starred in "45 Years" as a woman whose husband learns the body of his long-dead first love has resurfaced. The movie by Andrew Haigh led a critics' poll in Berlin's daily Tagesspiegel and industry magazine Screen, with Britain's Daily Telegraph giving it five out of five stars. Rampling has "rarely been better than she is here, in the role of a placid, dog-walking, tea-drinking middle-class Brit, who finds the floor abruptly falling out beneath her," its reviewer Tim Robey wrote from the festival.
