Overview
- A24 released the official trailer on Tuesday and confirmed a limited U.S. theatrical opening on December 11, 2026.
- The film has drawn strong festival buzz from Telluride, Toronto and New York and earned enthusiastic early reviews that highlight its surreal and avant-garde tone.
- Julianne Moore stars as Mona Friedman, a shy New Jersey housewife who becomes obsessively involved in a community-theater production directed by Paul Giamatti’s character.
- Jesse Eisenberg directed the film, appears in a supporting role, produced it and wrote the music and lyrics for the fictional show within the movie, underscoring his auteur role.
- The A24 rollout aims to raise the film’s profile for awards consideration and broader audiences, and Eisenberg’s simultaneous TV project with A24 may extend his visibility in both film and prestige television.
