Jimpa, a queer family drama from director Sophie Hyde, arrived in limited U.S. theaters on February 6, one year after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival. Inspired by Hyde’s own family, the film follows a mother, played by Olivia Colman, who travels with her nonbinary child to Amsterdam to visit the child’s gay grandfather, portrayed by John Lithgow. As debates around trans youth intensified in 2026, the film’s focus on acceptance, chosen family, and community has taken on renewed cultural and political relevance for LGBTQ audiences.
