In Cheshire they’re trying to trace,
A man with a badly drawn face,
And a short stubby beard,
That looks downright weird,
The whole thing’s a shoddy disgrace.

What you may need to know:
1. A mourning mother (Rachel Griffiths) develops an unorthodox relationship with a homeless youth (Barry Keoghan).
2. So… not a big screen adaption of 1980s Simon MacCorkindale vehicle, then?
3. This is Rebecca Daly’s follow up to The Other Side of Sleep (2011).
4. Mammal had its premiere at Sundance in January. It went down well.
5. Broadsheet prognosis: Misery loves company.
Release Date: TBC.

An actual canine species, neither raccoon nor badger, beloved of Japanese folklore.
