A new set of images have made their way online, along with EW’s debut of the charming first poster, seeing Lynskey swimming naked alongside Christopher Abbott (Girls, Martha Marcy May Marlene). There’s no actual nudity though, so not to worry – entirely suitable should you be at work.
“Divorced and demoralized Amy Minsky’s prospects look bleak when she is condemned to move back in with her parents at the age of 35. Everyone wants to help, but, as her patience level with advice is plummeting, a bold teenage boy enters her life, igniting her last bit of self-esteem. What ensues is an unconventional love story infused with all the good things Amy needs to get on in life, and that just may include great sex.”
Todd Louiso (The Marc Pease Experience, Love Liza) returns behind the camera for his third film, directing from a script by Sarah Koskoff, who makes her writing debut here, with Blythe Danner (Meet the Parents), John Rubinstein (Red Dragon), and Julie White (Transformers) co-starring.
Hello I Must Be Going will be released in the US on 7th September, and here’s to hoping that it will get a release on our shores too, because it sounds very promising. As usual with the poster and images below (the second of which has surfaced before, but is in now in higher resolution), you can click to enlarge.
When a UK release date for this film is announced, I think we can expect a different poster to the US one: the reason being that Melanie Lynskey is still a lesser-known name in Britain, and any publicity will not necessarily be tailored towards raising her profile over here, even though I would like to see her become more of a household name in this country.
Couldn’t agree more – though Heavenly Creatures will always be a highlight her recent career has been an interesting one, Up in the AIr and Leaves of Grass are two which leap to mind immediately.
Why are we being kept waiting for a UK release date for this film? If anyone has come across a film-orientated website that has a possible update on this matter, could they please post the URL here?
‘Hello I Must Be Going’ has been given a release on DVD in the US. When will a UK Region 2 release happen? I really want to see this film…
