Pedwar

Three friends find themselves in a cottage in the middle of the Welsh countryside, where a haunting painting catches their attention. They tell each other stories to stave off boredom, loneliness and the temptation to read a book. But are they really alone?

Directed by Sam Johnson, Pedwar leans on a strong ensemble — Kath Hughes, Ed Easton, Adam Drake — 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 2021.
