From director Nia DaCosta, starring Tessa Thompson, Imogen Poots and Tom Bateman, Hedda is the story of a woman whose quietly suffocating present life gets interrupted…

‘That before you were domesticated, you were like fire‘

I thought the above was a compliment at first. Now I’m not so sure. Nevertheless, I can’t help feeling that being ‘like fire’ sounds super badass.

The dialogue, clearly, and the cinematography have my attention. I’m hoping the story is also engaging and satisfying. I mean, Hedda is based on the well-regarded play, Hedda Gabler, by Henrik Ibsen, after all.

Are you familiar with Ibsen’s book? It sounds like the kind of play I may have heard about in college.

Nicholas Pinnock, Nina Hoss, Finbar Lynch, Mirren Mack, Jamael Westman, Saffron Hocking, Jack Barry, Kathryn Hunter and Sam Hoare also star.

Hedda Release Dates: October 29th, 2025 (US & UK)…

Happy Film Loving,
