Jimpa, a tender and heartfelt story of LGBTQ life from Australian filmmaker Sophie Hyde. This initially premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival one year ago to rather mixed reviews even though I'm a fan of it (and also quoted in here). It's the latest film from Sophie Hyde (following

John Lithgow as Jimpa,
Olivia Colman as Hannah,
Aud Mason-Hyde as Frances, with
