Overview
- Indie distributor Kino Lorber picked up the Sundance 2025 drama and has released it in limited U.S. cinemas, with a U.K. rollout not yet confirmed.
- Written and directed by Sophie Hyde, the low-budget film draws on her family and casts her nonbinary child, Aud Mason-Hyde, opposite Olivia Colman and John Lithgow.
- Colman and Hyde argue that studio caution has pushed queer and women-led narratives to the margins, making theatrical pickups harder.
- The film centers on an intergenerational conversation about gender and sexuality, which Colman says is meant to encourage listening and acceptance.
- Colman says the project restored her love of acting through a freer process, and she recently described feeling “sort of non-binary” in comments to Them.
