Films We Like Presents URCHIN, a film by Harris Dickinson.

• FIPRESCI PRIZE and BEST ACTOR AWARD

• UN CERTAIN REGARD , CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2025

For Immediate Release

Films We Like is honoured to announce the acquisition of Urchin, the promising and confident directorial debut of acclaimed actor Harris Dickinson (Babygirl, Triangle of Sadness). The film had its world premiere at this years Cannes Film Festival where Dickinson won the prestigious FIPRESCI Prize, and Frank Dillane won Best Actor in the Un Certain Regard section.

Mike, a rough sleeper in London, is caught in a cycle of self-destruction as he tries to turn his life around. Drifting through hostels, shelters, and the streets, his days are shaped by fleeting encounters and fractured attempts at stability. As he struggles with addiction and the ghosts of his past, moments of absurdity and tenderness reveal the fragile hope that keeps him moving forward. Raw and darkly comic, Urchin is a story about the strange patterns that hold us back—and the fragile possibility of escape.
