ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Visually stunning, heartfelt, and gut-wrenching, Karen Moncrieff’s (THE DEAD GIRL) debut as writer and director will leave the heart yearning for more. Starring Agnes Bruckner (MURDER BY NUMBERS) as Meg, a troubled 18-year-old who discovers a passion for poetry, who forms a mentor relationship with her English teacher, Mr. Auster, played by David Strathairn (LINCOLN), which soon becomes more fraught and complicated than they once thought. USA Today raves, "[BLUE CAR] Has the feel of a novel in which the characters linger in one's memory well after the book has been read."
