Quote:

“My plan was to die before the money ran out,” says 60-year-old penniless Manhattan socialite Frances Price (Michelle Pfeiffer), but things didn’t go as planned. Her husband Franklin has been dead for 12 years and with his vast inheritance gone, she cashes in the last of her possessions and resolves to live out her twilight days anonymously in a borrowed apartment in Paris, accompanied by her directionless son Malcolm (Lucas Hedges) and a cat named Small Frank—who may or may not embody the spirit of Frances’s dead husband.

Director: Azazel Jacobs (The Lovers)

Writer: Patrick deWitt (The Sisters Brothers)

Cast: Michelle Pfeiffer, Lucas Hedges, Tracy Letts, Imogen Poots, Danielle Macdonald

Rented this one when it was the NYFF closing film. I get Brian's issues with the film, but thought it weirdly enthralling because of Pfeiffer and the direction things take. Definitely looking forward to seeing it again when it goes theatrical this weekend.

I am in. The novel is exceptional.

Ah thanks. I try to never read reviews, they condition my thinking too much. Though usually the more scathing the review the more I enjoy the movie

Panson · 06-11-2021, 12:29 AM

I thought I was in, but now I'm out.

Today is the release day!
How can this be already Sold Out on Best Buy and Amazon???
Not available in stores at all...
I am very disappointed, I waited for this day to go and pick this movie up in person. I guess next time I have to preorder....

Does this come with a slipcover?

Looks like my inept local cinemas aren't showing this next week, lmao

CelestialAgent · 06-30-2021, 11:30 AM

Could anyone check the region coding on this? It's getting an Australian release so it could be region free, but I know a lot of Sony Pictures Classics releases are Region A locked.

Really, it’s showing one screening a night at mine this weekend and we rarely get anything like this. Looks like Supernova is expanding more wide as well this current weekend.

CelestialAgent · 06-30-2021, 12:22 PM

I would take one screening on one night if it were offered! Even Picturehouse aren't showing it.

Looks like it's ABC based on a YouTube unboxing showing the back cover

Surprised this got so little attention. Michelle Pfeiffer is supposed to be very good in it, according to reviews.

Glad she got a starring vehicle, which we don't see much these days. Hoping to check this out soon.

BluBonnet · 08-18-2021, 03:46 AM

Michelle REALLY is awesome in it.

Also its a 99 cent rental in iTunes right now

MifuneFan · 02-13-2022, 05:53 PM

This has been steadily dropping on Amazon. Now down to $6.99

Think this is now showing on Sky Cinema.

Is it a comedy?
