Overview
- Kornél Mundruczó’s English‑language drama bowed in Berlinale competition on Feb. 16, marking its world premiere.
- Amy Adams, who plays a recovering alcoholic returning to her Cape Cod family, skipped the premiere; her message of support was read at the press conference.
- Early critiques lean negative on the film’s structure and tone, though reviewers widely praise Adams’ committed performance and some outlets note early awards buzz.
- Mundruczó says Hungarian state support largely dried up after 2017, prompting him to make projects abroad and frame this film as part of a broader life‑crisis triptych.
- Backed by Ryder Picture Company, AR Content, Hammerstone and Proton Cinema, the independently financed film features interpretive dance sequences shaped by choreographer Meg Stuart and is seeking U.S. distribution.
