Winner of both the Best Actor Un Certain Regard and FIPRESCI prizes at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Mike (Frank Dillane), a rough sleeper in London, is trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around. Raw and absurd, it's a story about the strange patterns that keep pulling us back.
Harris Dickinson's directorial debut, led by Dillane's remarkable performance, is equal parts funny, sharp-witted and poignant — heralding the emergence of a striking new voice in British cinema.
