Haigh 's next film '' 45 Years '' premiered as part of the main competition at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival . The film won the top acting prizes at the festival for both its leads , Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay . It was widely released in the UK on 28 August 2015 , and was screened at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals in September 2015 . The film later received an Academy Award nomination for Charlotte Rampling . Upon release , the film received positive reviews , holding a 97 % rating on Rotten Tomatoes . Kate Taylor of '' The Globe and Mail '' wrote : " 45 Years exposes the paradoxical balance of the successful marriage , one that requires a sentimental suspension of disbelief on the one hand and a hard-headed ability to deal with the everyday on the other . " Haigh co-created , co-produced and occasionally wrote and directed the HBO drama series '' Looking '' ( 2014 – 2016 ) , about a group of gay men in San Francisco , which struggled to attract audiences despite receiving generally positive reviews from critics . Cancelled after two seasons , the series finished with a two-hour TV movie in 2016
