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.

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

Sophie Hyde’s highly unorthodox family portrait pays homage to her dad, who died before her trans child could appreciate his pioneering personality.

Even alongside heavy-hitters like Lithgow and Colman, it is remarkable how effortlessly Mason-Hyde holds their own. In many ways, their scenes are what bring everything out that the adults are looking away from.
