You Won't Be Alone (Macedonian: Нема да бидеш сама, romanized: Nema da bidesh sama) is a 2022 dark fantasy horror drama film written and directed by Goran Stolevski. It is an international co-production of Australia, the United Kingdom, North Macedonia and Serbia in the Macedonian language, and marks Stolevski's feature film directorial debut.
The film tells the story of Nevena, a mute girl in 19th-century Macedonia who is taken from a sheltered life of solitude by the witch Maria who turns her into a fellow shapeshifting witch before abandoning her, leading the clueless girl to explore the world above ground for the first time and learn about humanity, loss and love – while Maria watches in anger. It stars Sara Klimoska, Alice Englert, Carloto Cotta, and Noomi Rapace as some of Nevena's forms, alongside Anamaria Marinca as Maria.
You Won't Be Alone premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition on 22 January 2022. The film was theatrically released on 1 April 2022 in the United States by Focus Features, and later on 22 September in Australia by Madman Films. It received critical acclaim, and was later selected as Australia's entry for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, but was not nominated.
