The Incomer12A

Directed by Louis Paxton | UK | 2026 | 1h 42m | Starring Gayle Rankin, Domhnall Gleeson, John Hannah, Michelle Gomez, Emun Elliott

A man and his sister live self-sufficiently on a remote Scottish island, hunting seabirds, retelling stories of their ancestors, and guarding their home from outsiders. Their routine is upended when an awkward council worker arrives to tell them they must leave and start again on the mainland. Domhnall Gleeson stars in Louis Paxton’s Sundance award-winning debut, a comedy about loneliness and connection told with surreal humour and pathos.

Reviews

‘The Incomer is a delightfully dotty film that adds a twist of Yorgos Lanthimos to its Celtic spirit.’
Stephen Russell, Time Out
