Co-starring Amber Heard, Kelli Garner, Hamish Linklater, Oliver Platt, and Ann Magnuson, and written and directed by Robert Edwards, the story centers on an relationship between an aspiring rock star and her crooner father. Here’s the official synopsis:
Beautiful aspiring rock star Jude (Heard) is stuck in a rut – relegated to recording commercial jingles and lost in a series of one night stands. When she is evicted from her Brooklyn apartment, she is forced to move into the Hamptons home of her wealthy – and selfish – father Paul Lombard (Walken), an over-the-hill, Sinatra-esque crooner angling for a musical comeback. As the two reunite, Jude is forced to confront her problems, including troubled relationships with her father and overachieving sister (Garner), as well as her wobbly career and faltering love life. As Jude and Paul butt heads, they unexpectedly find themselves on a journey that may redefine their lives.
Our of Tribeca last year, we called the movie "a low-key pleasure with big rewards," so check it out when it hits Theaters and On Demand on April 8th.
