This is tomorrow! Support this film at Roxie Theater! Q/A after screening with Josephine Decker!

“This is one of the boldest and most invigorating American films of the 21st century…” — IndieWire. Madeline (breakout newcomer Helena Howard) has become an integral part of a prestigious physical theater troupe. When the workshop’s ambitious director (Molly Parker) pushes the teenager to weave her rich interior world and troubled history with her mother (Miranda July) into their collective art, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. The resulting battle between imagination and appropriation spirals out of the rehearsal space and rips through all three women’s lives.

Go see the female-driven breakout indie film of the year, opening at the Roxie Aug. 24th! Written and directed by a woman, starring three female leads, with a majority female crew (producers, cinematographer, art director, production designer, editor, composer) -- this is the kind of film that we need to champion and support through ticket sales! with your networks!
