After serving as cinematographer on Kill Your Darlings, The Skeleton Twins, Frozen River, and more, Reed Morano debuted her first directorial effort at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. Meadowland brings together the talents of Olivia Wilde and Luke Wilson as grieving parents in the aftermath of losing their child.
We said in our review, “With authentic performances from the ensemble, this process of healing (as destructive as it may be) effectively comes across, but as we dive deeper into the abyss of loss, the story strays from its grounded realism and becomes too contrived to fully convey its intended emotion.” Also starring Giovanni Ribisi, Elisabeth Moss, Ty Simpkins, John Leguizamo, Kevin Corrigan, Merritt Wever, Scott Mescudi, Mark Feuerstein and Juno Temple, check out the trailer below.
In the hazy aftermath of an unimaginable loss, Sarah (Olivia Wilde) and Phil (Luke Wilson) come unhinged, recklessly ignoring the repercussions. Phil starts to lose sight of his morals as Sarah puts herself in increasingly dangerous situations, falling deeper into her own fever dream.
Meadowland opens on October 16th.
