In this modern adaptation of one of Henrik Ibsen’s best-known works, Tessa Thompson (Creed, Thor: Ragnarock) stars as Hedda Gabler, who finds herself torn between the lingering ache of a past love and the quiet suffocation of her present life when long-repressed desires and hidden tensions erupt—pulling her and everyone around her into a spiral of manipulation, passion, and betrayal.
Hedda, which premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, will have a limited theatrical release in New York and Los Angeles beginning Wednesday, October 22. Find out about how you can stream at home.
