Chase Hutchinson TheWrap This is a full character that Dillane and Dickinson have built from the ground up, where the little details of how he reacts to things can tear right through when you least expect it. May 19, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Harris Dickinson makes a terrifically impressive debut here as a writer-director with this smart, thoughtful, compassionate picture about homelessness. It is engaging and sympathetically acted and layered with genuinely funny moments. Rated: 4/5 May 18, 2025 Full Review Richard Lawson Vanity Fair With Dillane’s invaluable help, Urchin paints a sad and compelling portrait of someone lost in the fringes, a victim of an often indifferent system and of the complex wiring of his brain. May 17, 2025 Full Review Dallas King Next Best Picture Mike needs to be told what to do by others rather than having his own independence. Unlike this character, Dickinson has total and complete independence, forging ahead to make one of the year’s most confident and fantastic directorial debuts. Rated: 8/10 May 18, 2025 Full Review Yasmine Kandil Discussing Film Urchin avoids the common stereotypes and tropes found in stories about addiction, opting for something much more abstract and powerful. Harris Dickinson's directorial skills on display prove that his career as a filmmaker is just getting started. Rated: 5/5 May 18, 2025 Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily Urchin doesn’t offer any answers, nor does it try, but it does open up a conversation about the people who fall through the cracks.
