Why watch?
“Stepping out of Urchin, my takeaway from the film is that Dickinson is an actor’s director because this is a film that hangs almost entirely (and in a wonderful way) on the lead. If this is the special instinct that Dickinson will bring to his work as director, then I’m really excited for what comes next.”

Hyde Park Pick: Urchin
Mike, 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.
Details
“Harris Dickinson makes a terrifically impressive debut.”
The Guardian
“Urchin crowns Dickinson as a serious new filmmaking voice.”
Time Out
“Urchin has shades of the work of the Safdie brothers in its nervy energy, and owes something to British auteur Andrea Arnold... But it’s also entirely Dickinson’s own vision, which meshes the surreal and the bracingly real.”
