Urchin - Review

You're Going to Be Just Fine.

Review written by Jack Aling

Urchin is directed by Harris Dickinson and written by Harris Dickinson.

Mike, a rough sleeper in London, is trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around. Along the way, he encounters unexpected chances for a fresh start.

Harris Dickinson is in total control of his craft. Immersive, sensitive, assertive. Paid with one of the year's best performances by Frank Dillane, Urchin is a real surprise and a stunning debut.

Our verdict: 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Urchin arrives in UK cinemas 3 October 2025.
