It looks like Ezra Miller is quickly becoming the go-to guy to play a tortured/confused adolescent character. With his debut Afterschool, City Island, the upcoming We Need to Talk About Kevin and now Another Happy Day, he hasn’t had much of a chance to expand. But hopefully that will come in time. He stars alongside Ellen Barkin, Kate Bosworth, Ellen Burstyn, Thomas Haden Church, George Kennedy, Demi Moore and Diana Scarwid in the film, which picked up the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at Sundance this year.
Directed by Sam Levinson (son of Barry), I haven’t heard positive things, but this trailer makes it seem somewhat appealing. And I’d be welcome to more red band trailers like this. There isn’t an overload of sex and violence, just a few added swear words to better represent the film. Check it out below.
Synopsis:
High-strung Lynn (Ellen Barkin) and her three troubled children (Ezra Miller, Kate Bosworth, Daniel Yelsky) are hurled deep into the heart of domestic darkness and primal family dynamics when they attend the wedding of her eldest son. While a long-simmering feud rages with her ex-husband (Thomas Haden Church) and his hot-tempered wife (Demi Moore), Lynn struggles against her cold, disdainful mother (Ellen Burstyn) and her distant father (George Kennedy). With an apathetic husband , (Jeffrey DuMunn) at her side, Lynn is left to wander in a generational emotional minefield.
