Bridgend (2015)

Bridgend is a somber drama exploring a real-life spate of youth suicides that gripped a small Welsh town, told through the eyes of the teenagers and families caught in its wake. Josh O'Connor anchors the film with a raw, restless performance that includes some unflinching physical exposure, while Aled Llyr Thomas and Scott Arthur round out the young cast navigating grief and desire in equal measure. Across 3 scenes on the site, the film bares intimate skin and unguarded sexuality without flinching, treating nudity as part of its bleak, honest texture rather than gratuitous flourish. It's a quiet but bold entry for fans tracking O'Connor's early work.
