Saturday 6 JuneAs their marriage quietly unravels, Alex (Will Arnett) faces middle age and an impending divorce, seeking new purpose in the New York comedy scene while Tess (Laura Dern) confronts the sacrifices she made for their family - forcing them to navigate co-parenting, identity and whether love can take a new form.
"Arnett’s Alex is self-deprecating, subtle, effortlessly if dryly funny – in other words, easy to root for" Adrian Horton, The Guardian
The film will be introduced by Jake and Chris from Hastings Comedy Festival, plus short stand-up set, giving a taste of what is to come at the EP in June with Hastings Comedy Festival events on Friday 5 June and Saturday 6 June.
