The stunning directorial debut for Harris Dickinson, powered by an outstanding, award-winning performance from Frank Dillane.
Mike (Dillane), a rough sleeper on the streets of London, is trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around. Moving between short-term jobs and small-time hustles, he must balance the hopeful rush of a fresh start with a past that is holding him back.
By turns exhilarating and poetic, Urchin is a bold, vibrant and utterly unmissable portrait of life on the margins. The scenario is so familiar it could have been the same old story, but the texture of all this street life gives it rather a special shine. Don’t miss it.
