Deadline's Baz Bamigboye writes that John Lithgow is extraordinary as he bares his soul in ‘Jimpa,’ which opened the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

John Lithgow stars in "Jimpa," a new film that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. He has two nude scenes in the film.

"Jimpa" director Sophie Hyde dished about her leading man at the Sundance Film Festival. John Lithgow has been a fixture on movie (and even TV) screens for more than five decades, so he's as professional as they come.

That we’re watching John Lithgow go on about oral sex and Olivia Colman chatting about polyamory with her teenage child make the film that much odder.

John Lithgow, who stars alongside Olivia Colman in "Jimpa" shared his excitement. "It's so exciting! I don't think I've ever been in the opening premiere at Sundance. We were thrilled to get that invitation."

Sophie Hyde’s highly unorthodox family portrait pays homage to her dad, who died before her trans child could appreciate his pioneering personality.

Jimpa follows a filmmaker who is forced to confront her past after her nonbinary teenager expresses a desire to live with their gay grandfather in Amsterdam. It’s part family drama, part coming-of-age film, and part gay rights historical drama, and the result is a film that feels like an amalgamation of the tropes of a few different genres.
