Hot Milk, dir. Rebecca Lenkiewicz, UK 2025, 92 min., 15, English

Book tickets

Rebecca Lenkiewicz’s directorial debut offers a richly sensorial take on Deborah Levy’s eponymous, Booker Prize-nominated novel, delving into the inner world of a dutiful daughter and her strained bond with a difficult mother. Anthropology student Sofia accompanies her mother, Rose, to a sun-drenched Spanish coastal town in search of answers from an unconventional doctor who might cure Rose’s mysterious paralysis. Their relationship—marked by tension, dependency, and emotional wounds—is tested further during the trip. 

Powered by three exceptional performances, Lenkiewicz—renowned for her screenwriting on Ida and She Said—delivers an arresting and evocative drama in her first turn behind the camera.
