The Marsh King’s Daughter follows the story of Helena (Ridley), whose life is turned upside down after learning that her father (Mendelsohn), known as the the infamous 'Marsh King', has escaped from prison.

Directed by Divergent's Neil Burger and adapted by The Revenant's Mark L Smith, the film also stars Garrett Hedlund, Caren Pistorius, Gil Birmingham, Joey Carson and Brooklynn Prince.

The Marsh King’s Daughter premiered in US cinemas last month to a mixed response from critics, with the film currently sitting at 37% on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes after 41 reviews.

Screen Rant praised the cast's "strong performances" but said the film had a "dawdling pace", while Next Best Picture added: "Neil Burger's newest film isn't revolutionary in its storytelling, nor does it keep us guessing how it’ll end."
