A terrific cast leads this taut psychological drama from one of Britain’s best working screenwriters.

Afflicted by a strange illness, mother and daughter Rose (Fiona Shaw) and Sofia seek a cure on the Spanish riviera. But when Sofia meets the elusive Ingrid (Vicky Krieps), triggering her sexual awakening, she begins to question the reality her mother has constructed for her.

Adapted from the 2016 novel by Deborah Levy, Hot Milk is the directorial debut of screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz (Ida, She Said). Amidst the sun-drenched cinematography, rising star Emma Mackey shines as a young woman seeking to renounce her mother’s control.
