Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan star in “Josephine,” a thriller-drama by writer-director-producer Beth de Araújo, for which outlets are publishing a new trailer as the film approaches a wide release. The movie follows 8-year-old Josephine after she accidentally witnesses a violent crime in Golden Gate Park, setting off a chain of psychological and family fallout.
Across coverage, the film is presented as a high-stakes story about what it means for a child to bear witness and how trauma affects relationships at home. IndieWire frames the tension around the limits of parenting to prevent or undo violence children have seen. Other outlets note the film’s early accolades: it premieres in the U.S. Dramatic Competition section of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and wins both the Audience Award and the Grand Jury Prize. The film subsequently plays at additional festivals, including London and Warsaw, before its fall release.
