Alice Eve, James McAvoy, and Rebecca Hall in Starter for 10
James McAvoy has had one of the most interesting careers of any actor of his generation, and despite his relative youth, has made bold choices that speak to his willingness to take risks. Despite being involved with major franchise films like It: Chapter Two and the later X-Men movies as a young Professor X, McAvoy has taken a chance on projects like the absurdist dark comedy Filth and the twisty neo-noir thriller Trance.
What Is ‘Starter for 10’ About? Based on the acclaimed book of the same name by author David Nicholls , Starter for 10 stars McAvoy as the first-year university student Brian James, who finally makes it into Bristol University after years of hard work. Although he lives in a relatively impoverished community with his mother, Julie , Brian has managed to put in enough effort that the prestigious school doesn’t demean him because of his background.

McAvoy crafts an immediately relatable performance who isn't necessarily a perfect hero; Brian often screws up saying the right thing when talking to Alice, takes his family for granted, and doesn't always take pride in his humble upbringing. While it would be easy to use these examples to classify Brian as being"toxic," McAvoy shows that Brian is genuinely willing to learn from his mistakes and keep moving forward.
