Solitary

In rural Ireland, Brendan, a widowed farmer, lives a quiet life on the edge of a village. When his home is broken into, a growing sense of fear and isolation takes hold. As violence touches the community, and trust in the system fades, Brendan must confront what it means to feel safe, to grow old, and to be truly alone.

Directed by Eamonn Murphy, Solitary leans on a strong ensemble — Gerry Herbert, Cailum Carragher, Emmet Kelly — 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 drama titles of 2025.
