From the Judges, on The Lingering (2026)
From the Judges, on The Lingering
A dissolving figure rendered with real care, framing that makes the most of every environment, lighting that gives each scene its own vibrancy: the craft here is confident and cohesive. The panel found it a genuinely engaging watch, a dramedy that holds humour and grief together with warmth and a clear sense of style. Natural, assured performances carry both the comic and the emotional beats.
