Spotlight Narrative
Feature | United States | 90 MINUTES | EnglishWomen, Comedy, Drama, Romance
A comedy of errors ensues when empty nester Rachel (Lisa Edelstein) hastily sends a gift to Charlie (James Wolk), a former colleague, upon receiving his wedding invitation. The young couple’s wedding gets Rachel out of her perpetual state of ennui in her own marriage and brings unexpected excitement that inadvertently causes speculation of infidelity. As one domino falls after another, cracks begin to show in their respective relationships especially while Rachel’s husband Adam (Erik Griffin) becomes obsessed with getting back their wedding gift: The Everything Pot.
In her feature debut, writer/director Sherise Dorf offers a hilarious send-up of modern marriage and all of its trials and tribulations. One innocent gift becomes a Pandora’s box for unleashing deep-seated emotions that are both absurdly funny and highly relatable all cooked up in one deliciously messy pot. Gina Torres and Delaney Rowe are also featured in the ensemble cast that truly shines, led by a radiant Lisa Edelstein as a married woman finding her luster again.––Matt Dy
