DIRECTOR: Annie Baker
CAST: Julianne Nicholson, Zoe Ziegler, Elias Koteas, Will Patton, and Sophie Okonedo

All due respect to the lovely, talented, Emmy Award-winning Julianne Nicholson, but there's only one J. Nicholson, and she ain't it!

That this takes place in Western Massachusetts is all needed. Sold. I don't even care what it's about.

Sorry to say that I didn't even connect that it was Julianne Nicholson when I was watching the trailer. Took me over a minute to stop wondering, "Where's Jack?"
