About
Chris Rock's Hollywood drama gets its U.S. premiere at NYFF64, with Rock in person after both weekend shows and Rosalind Eleazar leading the cast.
Chris Rock wrote and directed this one, and it is not a comedy special. Rosalind Eleazar plays an Emmy-winning actress with seven days to move out of her dead ex-boyfriend's house, and the supporting bench runs Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick and Rock himself. He is onstage for a Q&A after both weekend screenings, which is the part you cannot stream later.
What to expect
A 105-minute A24 drama set in Los Angeles, screening as an NYFF64 Main Slate U.S. premiere, followed by an onstage conversation with Chris Rock. The Saturday slot is a late-night show and the Sunday slot is a late-morning one, so pick your energy level accordingly.
Good to know
- Runtime is 105 minutes, plus the post-screening Q&A
- An A24 release, so a wider run will follow — the Q&A is the reason to come now
- NYFF venues include Alice Tully Hall, the Walter Reade Theater and the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center; your ticket names the room
- Main Slate premieres with talent attached sell through quickly
- Nearest subway is 66 St–Lincoln Center on the 1
