"Fackham Hall is that rarest of rare hen's teeth. A genuinely funny, fiendishly clever period comedy which even on the page makes you snort your tea out of several orifices at once, whilst still making you care hugely for the young couple at the centre of all the madness."

Bleecker Street will release the film theatrically on December 5, 2025. The studio has also backed titles like Logan Lucky and Unsane.
