Written and directed by Annabelle Attanasio
Two brilliant tour-de-force performances are at the core of Annabelle Attanasio’s debut feature. Set in the hard-scrabble mining community of Anaconda, Montana, Camila Morrone (evoking young Anne Hathaway) stars as a teenager who is her father’s caretaker, OxyContin supplier, and bail-provider; her father, played by James Badge Dale, is a PTSD-afflicted Iraq War vet whose erratic personality betrays flashes of the charm that was once his meal ticket. The Hollywood Reporter calls the film: “An indelible portrait of the double-edged sword of filial love… An intimate drama, rich in lived-in detail (revolving) around a tough and tender father-daughter relationship, an emotional prison that’s also a lifeline, compellingly rendered in the superb performances (of the principals).” – Sheri Linden
