DICKINSON: The discovery of Mike happened over a long time. I really started with the intention to create a very focused character study of someone who was ultimately battling against themselves. I wanted to show a full person in all of their ugliness and all of their humanity and their charm. And that was a hard process to get right. It also happened with Frank, who came on and tapped into those things so beautifully. I kept coming back to the no judgment thing, not allowing us to feel sorry for him too much. Just observe him and go through situations and see how he acts.Director Harris Dickinson, from left, Megan Northam and Frank Dillane pose for photographers at the photo call for the film ‘Urchin’ at the 78th international film festival, Cannes, southern France, Saturday, May 17, 2025.

How do you get out of that? How do you change your behavior? When your support network’s gone, even the institution is not enough to get someone out of these cycles. As people, what interests me is that we’re an incredibly advanced civilization but, at the end of the day, we’re quite rudimentary in our design. We’re quite basic in the way we go back to things.DICKINSON: I’m always a bit reluctant to talk about this because it’s something I’ve been doing in private and not trying to be like a heroic thing of a cause. I’m just a minor, minor part of a much bigger cause that is ultimately made up of hundred of thousands of individuals that are collectively working toward change. But it was always important to have the bones of this film lay in that space. It had to have the undercurrent to it. It had to have that factual reality to it.

And, yeah, Loach, (Shane) Meadows. Ken Loach, he’s one of the greats, for good reason. He’s made incredibly important films. And I don’t know if this film has the throughline of a social realism drama or a social political film. I think it has the beginnings of it because we enter the world and then stay there very observationally. But then the language changes.DICKINSON: I hope so. I hope people let me do it again. That’s the goal. But it takes a lot of you. I think my partner is probably happy for me to not be a neurotic person for a bit.

DICKINSON: I’ll probably be neurotic, as well. I’ll probably be just as neurotic.

Albert said it should go a step further with direct economic investments in communities most vulnerable to climate change.“Economic resources should go directly to those on the frontlines of the climate crisis to develop and implement their own community-led solutions,” she said. “Communities rather than profits must be the motive if we are truly going to solve the climate crisis.”
