Bankside is launching world sales at the EFM on WWI movie Benediction. Jack Lowden ('Dunkirk') is attached to star as poet and soldier Siegfried Sassoon in writer-director Terence Davies’ upcoming biopic. Shoot is due to get underway next month in the UK.

Lowden, a recent BAFTA Rising Star nominee, will portray English soldier and poet Sassoon, who was decorated for bravery on the Western Front, and is best remembered for his poems about the First World War, which brought him public and critical acclaim. Sassoon became a focal point for dissent within the armed forces when he made a lone protest against the continuation of the war. [SOURCE]

The fact that Benedict Cumberbatch is not in this movie is a crime considering the title.

This is a worthy film. I hope people discover it.

I've been waiting for it since last year. Hopeful Roadside doesn't take a million years to distribute it in the US.

I would expect it to release sometime in the first half - perhaps for a 17 day theatrical and then PVOD.

It's releasing in May in the UK, so they might coincide.

This looks really good. I'm hoping it goes wide enough to open here. I'm curious if the trailer was with showings of Downton Abbey. I imagine some of that audience would have interest in this.

I didn't see the trailer for this until I watched Montana Story, it definitely wasn't shown with Downton Abbey in my area

Was lucky to catch this during its LA run and what a revelatory performance from Jack Lowden. We never learned much about S

Hoping Roadside/Lionsgate gives this a Blu release soon (same for the other LGBTQ film they released this spring, "Firebird") because it was a stunning watch.

I am baffled by the great reviews and convinced we didn't watch the same movie. This was an insufferable mess. One of the worst movies I've seen this year. Really glad it was on Hulu so I didn't spend any extra money on it. To think I would have driven a couple hours to see it in a theater if it showed anywhere within that distance. I'm very lucky it didn't.

I felt the same way - and I watched it in the theater.
