Urchin initially premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival a few months ago, and I wrote a nice review saying: “Not only is the direction confident and the vision for this story clear, it’s a damn good film featuring clever creative choices.” Mike, a rough sleeper (aka homeless man) in London, is trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around.
