The Last Time I Saw Richard
In 1995, Jonah is proud to be the loner at the teen mental health clinic. But when a new patient, Richard, is admitted and the boys are forced to share a room, Jonah finds himself forming a connection despite himself. But will their bond be strong enough to protect them from the darklings that hide in the night shadows?
“A superb supernatural film of epic proportions…
brilliant on every level”

“Mental health, rather than sexuality, is at the centre of this significant film. An outstanding performance from Toby Wallace as Jonah takes us into a bleak nightmare world where love is not able to heal. One to remember.”
