Page 40 FROM acclaimed director Sophie Hyde (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande), Jimpa is an uplifting multi-generational family story starring award-winning favourites Olivia Colman and John Lithgow. Hannah (Colman) travels to vibrant Amsterdam with her teen, Frances (Aud Mason-Hyde), to reconnect with her politically-engaged, gay father —affectionately known as Jimpa (Lithgow). Frances is besotted with Jimpa and announces they wish to stay with him for a year – to Hannah’s apprehension. Jimpa is ercely independent, so it is a shock when his declining health is revealed, upending Frances’ plans and bringing Han- nah’s sister in from the UK. As the siblings negotiate what happens next, Hannah must confront her past and the stories she has told about her family. With warmth, humour and joy, Jimpa reminds us that, in every family, there are stories that don’t add up. In cinemas February 19. WIN WIN WIN – Email Only To be in the draw to win a double pass to Jimpa simply email win@haveagonews.com.au in the subject line. Closes 18/2/26. |
