“Queen at Sea” is a 2026 drama film written and directed by Lance Hammer. A co-production between the United Kingdom and the United States, it stars Juliette Binoche, Tom Courtenay, and Anna Calder-Marshall. It follows Amanda (Binoche), a middle-aged woman struggling to navigate the emotional complexities of caring for her mother, who has dementia. The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 76th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Bear Jury Prize and the Silver Bear for Best Supporting Performance for Courtenay and Calder-Marshall. It received critical acclaim, with particular praise for Hammer’s sensitive direction and the powerful performances from its ensemble cast.
