ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Sally Field makes a triumphant return with her leading performance in SXSW Film Festival standout HELLO, MY NAME IS DORIS.

But when she finds inspiration in the ideas of a self-help guru, the arrival of a handsome new co-worker (Max Greenfield, New Girl) heralds a new obsession. Written and directed by Michael Showalter (WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER, THE BAXTER), this charming comedy effortlessly moves between laughs and real feeling to paint a touching portrait of a dreamer.

SYNOPSIS

When Doris Miller meets John Fremont, her company’s hip new art director, sparks fly-at least for Doris. In the cluttered house she shared with her late mother, Doris mines the Internet for information on her one-and-only, guided by the 13-year-old granddaughter of her best pal Roz. When Doris begins showing up at John’s regular haunts, she wins over his Williamsburg friends. Her new life brings Doris a thrilling perspective, but also creates a rift between her and her longtime friends and family, who believe she’s making a fool of herself over a guy half her age. Eager for all the experiences she has missed out on, Doris throws caution to the wind and follows her heart for the very first time.
