It’s been a few years since director Andrew Haigh, along with Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott, delivered the devastating but equally handsome All Of Us Strangers. A film also more than earned its spot at the top of our best films of 2024. Now, the director is back with an all-new film, A Long Winter, and we now know when it will be heading to UK cinemas, along with its novel poster, which you can see here:
MUBI has announced that the drama will be hitting UK cinemas from 15 January 2027, taking us away from the clamorous streets of London in his last film to an unforgiving winter in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains in 1951. Led by Fred Hechinger and everyone’s favourite Taylor Swift lip-syncer Ebon Moss-Bachrach, the film follows a son (Hechinger) whose life is thrown upside down after his mother vanishes into the wilderness. The film follows a father, son and their town as they are rocked by her disappearance and set out to find her, leading them on a journey of self-discovery.
The film looks to be just as soulful as the director’s previous outing and, from the few shots we have seen, looks beautifully shot by André Turpin, capturing an ice-cold winter landscape. The cast also includes Caitríona Balfe, as well as a mini Warfare reunion with Kit Connor and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai as part of the ensemble.
The news comes following its world premiere at the 2026 Telluride Film Festival, with the film also set to show at the 70th BFI London Film Festival this month, where it will receive its UK premiere on 14 October. We’re sure it won’t be long before a trailer we will see a trailer for A Long Winter, but do wrap up hot as you head to cinemas to see this one.
