Pickled Henry

Stripped of his military pension when he was outed thirty years earlier, Henry now works as a cleaner. When he meets a young ex-soldier, Jake, he learns he may be able to have his pension reinstated. Suffering from PTSD, Henry is not sure he has the strength to fight another battle, but when his former boyfriend Benji needs a place to live, the three men learn how to live, love, and be a team.

Directed by Christopher Clarke, Pickled Henry leans on a strong ensemble — David Ault, Christopher Clarke, Brendan Fleming — 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.
