Cannes 2025: Harris Dickinson's Film 'Urchin' is an Impressive Debut

Stuck sleeping on the street, with no one to turn to for help, nowhere to go... How can you pull yourself back together in this situation? How does one get out of this rut? The next actor trying their hand at directing is the very talented British youngster Harris Dickinson (of Triangle of Sadness, The Iron Claw, Babygirl, Scrapper, Blitz). His feature directorial debut is a movie titled Urchin, premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section. This film is also playing alongside Kristen Stewart's directorial debut titled The Chronology of Water – and between these two projects, it is Dickinson's film and choices and vision that really stand out. Both written & directed by Dickinson, Urchin follows the compelling story of a homeless man named Mike – a rough sleeper in London, trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around. Not only is the direction confident and the vision for this story clear, it's a damn good film featuring some clever creative choices. Delighted to report it's one of the year's best debuts. // Continue Reading ›
