Midwinter Break

• Directed by Polly Findlay
• 2026 | 90mins | Netherlands, United Kingdom |

Ciarán Hinds and Lesley Manville are characteristically terrific in this new British film, a meditation on longstanding love, commitment and spirituality.

Stella and Gerry are contented but stuck in their ways until Stella buys a mini break to Amsterdam as a Christmas present to them both. Once in the beautiful Dutch capital, Stella confesses that she wants more in her life.

Variety said “the movie touchingly colours in how it might be possible for two people to know each other too well and also not well enough.”
