Una has premiered in Telluride to good reviews

From the reviews we find out that Tobias plays Ben Mendelsohn's boss Mark in this drama about a woman (Rooney Mara) who confront the man (Mendelsohn) who molested (sorry, I refuse to use "seduced") her when she was thirteen.
No idea how much screen time Tobias has but my guess is not much, as his character was not in the play the film is based on and is only mentioned briefly in two reviews. For all I know, it may be a minor supporting role or even a cameo like Tobias did in another film with Ben, Black Sea.

Hi eloieshf,

I assume the supporting parts are small considering they are not in the play. I like the fact that Tobias is working on intelligent films like Una.

Hi eloiseshf,

I noticed a number of British actors took bit parts in this film, which shows no role is too small for them. It's not a role that will help Tobias's career, but I think he wanted to be part of this very dark, controversial project.

It's the second film he makes with Ben Mendelsohn, so it may also be that he admires the Bloodline star and wanted to work with him again. This time they likely share scenes, as Tobias plays Ben's boss.

Indira Varma is also in it. He worked with her in GoT. I think working in London was also an attraction.

He's only worked with her in Rome (2005) not GoT.

Hi meerschweinchen,

You're right, they didn't share a scene in GoT but they were photographed together at a GoT function.

That's true.
