Dragonfly is the story of two neighbors who strike up an unlikely friendship, not always to the approval of others around them. Seeing the lack of care that her elderly neighbor Elsie is receiving from so called professionals, Colleen takes it upon herself to care for her, finally finding a meaning and purpose in life. Never sure of what her motivations are and always believing that we must assume the worst, Dragonfly is a heartbreaking and tense narrative about forgotten people that will unsettle and make you challenge your preconceptions.

Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter Is this tonal swerve a little gimmicky? Probably, and the film will not be to everyone’s taste. But it is a skillfully rendered exercise in terror. Jun 18, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A stark, fierce, wonderfully acted film. Rated: 4/5 Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Olga Artemyeva ScreenAnarchy While cinema in general still tends to romanticize loneliness, Dragonfly shows it for what it is: a routine series of everyday, excruciating experiences that always build up to something that tends to be horrific, more often than not. Jun 16, 2025 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage Williams and his brilliant cast create a film that is equal-parts tender and shocking, turning horror tropes on their head. Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending ...a wonderful showcase for two Oscar nominees, who are both stellar...also a scalding, heartbreaking look at elder care and how we seem to simply discard people once they reach a certain age as well as an honest portrait of the importance of connection. Rated: B- Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Jason Adams Pajiba Executed by two wondrous performers, Dragonfly is the black hole of modern living opening up beside your morning cuppa.
