The film follows Stan Lohman (Richard Gere), a well-known politician, who invites his brother Paul (Steve Coogan) and his wife Claire (Laura Linney) out to dinner at a hip restaurant. Though Paul reluctantly agrees to go, he’s stunned by Stan’s insistence that they air their dirty laundry, particularly a horrific crime their children have committed but has yet to surface. It co-stars Chloë Sevigny (“The Last Days of Disco”), Rebecca Hall (“Christine”), Charlie Plummer (“King Jack”) and Adepero Oduye (“Pariah”). Watch a trailer for the film below via EW.
This is Moverman’s fourth feature film, following “Time Out of Mind,” also starring Gere, “Rampart” and “The Messenger.” He has co-written many films, including Todd Haynes’ “I’m Not There,” Ira Sachs’ “Married Life” and most recently Bill Pohlad’s biographical drama “Love & Mercy,” about the life of Brian Wilson.
