JIMPA is in cinemas now, the brand-new film from Australian director Sophie Hyde (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande), and to celebrate the film’s release, thanks to Kismet, we have three double passes to give away to our lucky readers.

The film stars Olivia Colman as the mother of a non-binary teenager, Aud Mason-Hyde. The two travel to Amsterdam to visit John Lithgow’s character, Hannah’s grandfather, known as ‘Jimpa.’ The film’s subject matter is based on writer/director Hyde’s own experience and life.

Originally screened at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2025, and then having its Australian premiere in October last year at the Adelaide Film Festival, with the cast in particular getting a lot of praise for their performances, alongside some tough subject matter.

From acclaimed director Sophie Hyde (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande), JIMPA is an uplifting multi-generational family story starring award-winning favourites Olivia Colman and John Lithgow. Hannah (Colman) travels to vibrant Amsterdam with her teen, Frances (Aud Mason-Hyde), to reconnect with her politically-engaged, gay father—affectionately known as “Jimpa” (Lithgow). Frances is besotted with Jimpa and announces they wish to stay with him for a year – to Hannah’s apprehension. Jimpa is fiercely independent, so it is a shock when his declining health is revealed, upending Frances’ plans and bringing Hannah’s sister in from the UK. As the siblings negotiate what happens next, Hannah must confront her past and the stories she has told about her family. With warmth, humour and joy, JIMPA reminds us that, in every family, there are stories that don’t add up.
