Ben Whishaw with his face pressed against a pink metallic wall

Ben Whishaw is mesmerising in this gripping and claustrophobic psychodrama 

Joseph (Ben Whishaw) is trapped in a soulless job, living a life devoid of emotion and meaning. After an impulsive act of rebellion, Joseph unleashes a wilder version of himself. He is propelled on a reckless journey through London, ultimately experiencing what it feels like to be alive.

This feature debut from British filmmaker, Aneil Karia, is climactic and darkly atmospheric. Whishaw is so compelling and emphatic on screen, you won't be able to look away.

From 17 May (and unless guidance changes) six people or two households of any size can visit together as a group. Until guidance changes, we’ve created socially-distanced seating clusters. Please only sit directly beside someone from your household or support bubble, and avoid moving seats when you arrive, so we can keep a safe distance between you and other groups.
