After making a brief impression in Terrence Malick’s Song to Song and following a part in this summer’s The Big Sick, Holly Hunter will take the lead in Strange Weather. The drama, which premiered at Toronto International Film Festival last fall, is directed by Katherine Dieckmann (who helmed the underrated Diggers) and follows a woman who searches for resolution after the death of her son.
Ahead of a late July release, the first trailer has now landed, which previews what looks to be a strong central performance from Hunter. While we missed it at TIFF last year, reactions seemed to be mostly strong, so we’re looking forward to checking it out. Also starring Carrie Coon, Kim Coates, and Glenne Headly, see the trailer below.
Academy Award winner Holly Hunter gets behind the wheel in this engrossing story of a woman’s quest for rectitude in the wake of harrowing loss. Steeped in a strong sense of place and peopled by convention-defying characters, Katherine Dieckmann’s STRANGE WEATHER draws you into its sultry Southern milieu and takes you on a back-roads trek you won’t soon forget. STRANGE WEATHER features Carrie Coon (THE LEFTOVERS, FARGO, GONE GIRL), Kim Coates (SONS OF ANARCHY, BAD BLOOD, GOON), Glenne Headly (Hulu’s FUTURE MAN, VILLA CAPRI, THE NIGHT OF)
Strange Weather is about the journey as much as the destination. Its circuitous route allows for surprise encounters and sudden detours. Surrounded by an outstanding supporting cast, Hunter gives a spunky, soulful performance. Every stop along the way takes Darcy closer to some new understanding of how to come to terms with the past — and eventually find her way back home.
Strange Weather opens in theaters and on VOD on July 28.
