Alpha

Duration: 2h9m
Dates: Fri 28 Nov - Thu 4 Dec 2025

Acclaimed director Julia Ducournau (Raw, Titane) returns with her most personal film yet, a genre-bending mix of coming of age and body horror with standout performances from Mélissa Boros and Tahar Rahim.  

Alpha, 13, is a troubled teenager who lives alone with her mother. Their world comes crashing down the day she comes home from school with a tattoo on her arm.
