Dragonfly is the story of two neighbours who strike up an unlikely friendship, not always to the approval of others around them. Seeing the lack of care that her elderly neighbour Elsie (Blethyn) is receiving from so-called professionals, Coleen (Riseborough) takes it upon herself to care for her, finally finding meaning and purpose in life. When her motivations are brought into question, a tragic sequence of events leads to a shocking, and devastating end. 

Dragonfly is a heartbreaking, tense, and atmospheric feature that will unsettle and make you challenge your preconceptions. It’s a narrative that unflinchingly shines a light on the universal issue of social care, and caring for the elderly and marginalised. World Premiere at Tribeca 2025.
