Dickinson has confidently stepped into the directing sphere with a film that tells a beautifully human story.
As the opening credits roll on "Urchin," a woman's voice rises over the sound of a bustling London street. She is holding up a Bible, preaching about salvation and the path to it — a path that will ultimately be traversed by the man who wakes up just a few feet from her, curled up on the side of the road.
Shown Thursday night at the Violet Crown Theater on the second day of the Virginia Film Festival, "Urchin" was the highly anticipated directorial debut from actor Harris Dickinson, known most recently for leading roles in "Triangle of Sadness" and "Babygirl."
“Urchin” follows Mike, played by Frank Dillane, a young homeless man in the throes of addiction who is given a chance at recovery.
