Sundance: Colman plays a filmmaker struggling to reconcile her resentment toward her gay father in Sophie Hyde's thinly rendered portrait of generational divides.

That we’re watching John Lithgow go on about oral sex and Olivia Colman chatting about polyamory with her teenage child make the film that much odder.

If I could work with the queer community and trans people on every film, I’d have the happiest life,” the Oscar winner tells Vanity Fair. “Also, I learned more about myself.”

How do you capture a life? After all, there is nothing more breathtakingly vast than an existence full of joy, pain, pleasure and agony. Doing so is an immense undertaking that requires honesty and care in equal measure as we must look deeply at someone to expose all of what made them who they are without also hiding all of what can be many rough edges.

Deadline's Baz Bamigboye writes that John Lithgow is extraordinary as he bares his soul in ‘Jimpa,’ which opened the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.
