MIFF 2025 guest and Went up the Hill star Dacre Montgomery shares his five most anticipated titles at this year’s festival.

Urchin

Extremely excited to see Harris Dickinson’s directorial debut. Frank Dillane is apparently fantastic.

Splitsville

I’ve heard from friends this is hilarious. Very keen to see. Someone told me it was the most they’d laughed in a cinema in a long time.

Sirât

Trailer looks epic. Love the tension and the music. Love the crossover of Mad Max meets festival meets mystery thriller.

Lurker

I read the script for this years ago and loved it – very keen to see how it came out.

It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley

It was mentioned to me that the family estate had turned down having Jeff’s story made into a big Hollywood biopic, which I respect and appreciate. Really excited for this one.
