The Sundance Film Festival is fast approaching, and some films already have big distribution deals in place. Among the titles debuting at the festival this year is The Ballad of Wallis Island, a highly anticipated film from Focus Features that has already secured a theatrical release for March 28, 2025.
Directed by James Griffiths, The Ballad of Wallis Island centers on Charles (Tim Key), an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island. His life takes a turn when he invites former lovers and bandmates, Mortimer-McGwyer (played by Carey Mulligan and Tom Basden), to reunite for a private show at his island home. What begins as a hopeful dream soon unravels as old tensions resurface, threatening to derail Charles’s grand vision.
With a cast that includes award-winning actors such as Carey Mulligan, Tom Basden, and Tim Key, the film promises to offer both moments of laughter and emotional depth. Early reactions suggest that it could be the kind of film that leaves viewers both in stitches and wiping away tears.
Focus Features has already released an official trailer, along with images and a brief summary, fueling anticipation for its spring debut. While early spring releases can often be hit or miss, The Ballad of Wallis Island has all the makings of a standout film, blending comedy and drama in a way that could captivate audiences when it hits theaters.
The film’s official release date is set for March 28, 2025.
