Film Details

The long underrated Lois Smith stars with Jon Hamm, Geena Davis, and Tim Robbins in Michael Almereyda’s film version of Jordan Harrison’s Pulitzer-shortlisted play (which the Dobama Theatre presents from 10/13 to 11/12). It’s a sci-fi chamber drama about death, decline, memory, family, and technology in which an elderly, dementia-stricken widow (Smith) interacts with a speaking, sentient hologram of the midlife version of her late husband (Hamm). Music by Mica Levi. “Actually improves on the source...Almereyda's smart script has rendered the material more dramatically satisfying.” –Hollywood Reporter. DCP. 98 min.
