Event Description
Steven (Peter Dinklage) is a lauded composer who famously went bonkers after his last opera bombed five years ago, sending him into a deep depression eventually broken by a romance with his then-therapist, now wife Patricia (Anne Hathaway). Steven’s latest show is due in two weeks, and when his writer’s block kicks into overdrive, Patricia all but tosses him out of the house in hopes he might “get lost” and find something useful along the way. Soon, he finds the inspiration: Katrina (Marisa Tomei), a charming tugboat captain (you read that correctly) who awkwardly sweeps Steven off his feet. Director Rebecca Miller grounds some of her kookier details in the trappings of a typical NYC romance: sunlit streets, dreamy brownstones, interconnected tales, miscommunications, and (of course) trips to the opera. The surroundings are familiar, but Miller wants to use these tropes to interrogate what romance actually means. It’s funny and strange and sometimes truly dark, offering a fresh look at what love does to people. –IndieWire
