Dir: Lloyd Eyre-Morgan, Neil Ely. 78 mins, 2026, UK, English
Somewhere between All of Us Strangers and Black Mirror, this quietly cosmic British gem is one of the year’s most unexpected love stories.
Jordan is a 30-something facing terminal cancer in 2027, drifting through morphine dreams and digital distractions. On a whim, he fires up an old Chatroulette-style app — and meets Danny, sarcastic, vibrant, and achingly alive. The catch? Danny swears it’s 2005, and he’s dying too.
Anchored by Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley) and a raw, heartbreaking lead duo, Chatlines weaves queer romance, Northern grit, and time-bending tenderness into something that stays with you long after the screen goes dark. A film about loneliness, longing, and the desperate, beautiful search for connection when time is running out.
