Sophy Romvari's debut feature film, Blue Heron, has been hailed as the most critically acclaimed feature of 2026 so far. The film, which is deeply autobiographical, is being distributed across North America by Janus Films and has already won awards at festivals including Locarno and Toronto. Despite expectations that it would go straight to streaming, Romvari insists that her focus is on creating a sustainable career. Blue HerOn is not a documentary but still deeply rooted in her personal experience, exploring the reverberations of her troubled eldest brother’s sudden death.
