The Kingdom () is a 2024 French family crime drama directed by Julien Colonna. The film stars Ghjuvanna Benedetti as the daughter of the leader of a crime family played by Saveriu Santucci.
In 1995, Lesia (Benedetti) is a 15-year-old girl in Corsica, safe from the organized crime elsewhere on the island. This changes when she is taken to her father, crime boss Pierre-Paul (Santucci), much to her chagrin. The two repair their relationship as they escape mobsters all across the island, and Lesia is drawn further into her father's world of crime.
The birth of his daughter inspired Colonna to create a father-daughter story. The Kingdom was shot on location in Corsica with a cast composed largely of first-time local actors. On the final day of filming, a pivotal boat scene had to be reworked due to a storm over the Gulf of Ajaccio.
The Kingdom premiered in the Un Certain Regard portion of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it was acquired by Metrograph Pictures for North American distribution rights. Ad Vitam Distribution theatrically released the film in France on 13 November 2024.
Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian rated the movie with four stars over five, and described it as "an intensely exciting and absorbing mob drama".
