              Overview

              Edward (James McArdle) is a queer, up-and-coming novelist forced to balance press commitments with caring for his aging mother. Pressure to go on a US book tour is mounting. But when his three closest friends, desperate to feel young and carefree again, go off on an impromptu Pride holiday, they leave their ageing mothers in Edward’s care.

              Winner of BFI London Film Festival 2024 Audience Award for Best Feature, Darren Thornton’s wonderfully accessible riff on Gianni Di Gregorio’s Mid-August Lunch is a hilarious, moving and perceptive look at mother and son dynamics, queer identity and singledom.
