Limbo is a 2020 British comedy-drama film, directed by Ben Sharrock.[2] The film centres on four asylum seekers who are staying on a remote island in Scotland, and taking cultural awareness classes, while awaiting the processing of their refugee claims.

The film was named as an Official Selection of the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, but was not screened due to the cancellation of the physical festival in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

The film received generally positive reviews and garnered several awards and nominations, including at the Cairo International Film Festival, the British Independent Film Awards, and the British Academy Film Awards.
