'Urchin' Review: Harris Dickinson's Directorial Debut Humanises Addiction And Homelessness
[]
Mashable India
> MoviesBabygirl and Triangle of Sadness star Harris Dickinson makes his directorial debut with Urchin, a raw, humanising portrait of homelessness and the cycle of addiction that he also wrote and cameos in.
Drawing on his own experiences growing up around people experiencing addiction, Dickinson rejects a catch-all representation of a person experiencing housing and financial instability, instead focusing on the elements that make his protagonist's situation unique.
Hinging on a complex performance by excellent lead Frank Dillane, Urchin sees Dickinson reject clichés often used to portray people experiencing housing instability.
Dickinson draws on his own experience not only of growing up around people experiencing addiction but also of working with homelessness charities in London.
Having grown up in London, Dickinson has worked with shelter Project Parker and with homelessness charity Under One Sky , establishing its Hackney chapter.
