Rosalind Eleazar gives what NYFF calls a star-making performance as a former actress scraping by in an unforgiving Hollywood, surrounded by Chris Rock, Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya and Anna Kendrick. It is Rock behind the camera on an L.A. odyssey, and the BAM screening brings a Main Slate title to Brooklyn without the Lincoln Center scramble. If you want a star-heavy festival film close to home, this is the pick.
What to expect
A late-afternoon festival screening in Fort Greene, running about an hour and three quarters. Expect a crowd drawn by the cast and a lively post-film spill onto Lafayette Avenue's bars and restaurants.
