Dear Imelda

Set within the vast countryside of rural Ireland, 'Dear Imelda' follows the unwanted open-ended arrival of Grandson Ciaran to his Nanny Imelda's traditional home. Desperate to cling to her independence, Imelda disputes the need to have Ciaran dropped into her life, especially when he takes the presumption of installing something which he requires to work from home, the internet. In an attempt to mediate the ongoing friction, Ciaran demonstrates the benefits technology could contribute to his Nanny's off the grid lifestyle. In doing so, he discovers that he has the ability to play a vital role to a friendship on hiatus some 60 years.

Directed by Arón Holden, Dear Imelda leans on a strong ensemble — Declan Curran, Rosemary Henderson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2024.
