In this video, I talk about Jimpa — the latest film from director Sophie Hyde, which quietly made its debut at Sundance before finding its way to a wider U.S. release.
The movie centers on a mother and her non-binary teenager as they travel to visit family, setting the stage for a story about relationships, identity, and emotional distance. Rather than pushing a traditional plot, the film leans into mood, conversation, and character interaction — and I break down how that approach shapes the overall experience.
I share spoiler-free thoughts on the film’s structure, tone, and what kind of story it’s trying to tell, along with how it compares to Hyde’s previous work. This video focuses more on the feel of the movie and the kind of viewer it might resonate with, rather than getting into specific plot details.
If you’ve been curious about Jimpa after its Sundance run, or you’re wondering what kind of film Sophie Hyde made this time around, this video gives you context on the project, its themes, and what sort of experience it offers — without giving anything away.
