“You’re going to be just fine… The road is clear, each decision is yours.” 1-2 Special in the US has debuted their official trailer for the superb film titled Urchin, marking the directorial debut of famous British actor Harris Dickinson (best known from the films Triangle of Sadness, Scrapper, The Iron Claw, Babygirl, Blitz). This is his own film – he wrote and directed it. And it’s one of the best debuts of 2025. 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. Featuring an outstanding performance from Frank Dillane as Mike, also with Megan Northam (Meanwhile on Earth), Diane Axford, Murat Erkek, Moe Hashim, Shonagh Marie, & Karyna Khymchuk. This is a much better trailer than the other UK trailer, getting into more of the themes & character work from Dillane. I hope this film finds audiences worldwide – deserves to be a hit.
Here’s the official US trailer (+ poster) for Harris Dickinson’s film Urchin, from Picturehouse’s YouTube:

Michael (starring Frank Dillane) barely scrapes by, surviving at the very edge of society in a world that is brutal and indifferent. After a tense incident lands him in prison, he tries to piece his life back together — entering rehab, looking for work, and attempting to reconnect with people. Urchin is written and directed by acclaimed British actor / writer / filmmaker Harris Dickinson, making his feature directorial debut after a few other short films previously. Produced by Archie Pearch & Scott O’Donnell. This first premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year (read our review). Picturehouse debuts Dickinson’s Urchin in UK cinemas starting on October 3rd, 2025 this fall. 1-2 Special will also release the film in select US theaters starting on October 10th. This is a good one – worth watching when it opens. How does that look?
