ANGELIKA’S NOTE

A daring crime drama about bitter jealousy in a small town, when a woman’s ex-husband turns against her new, younger boyfriend. Directed by Academy Award nominee Todd Field (LITTLE CHILDREN, EYES WIDE SHUT, RUBY IN PARADISE), and starring Tom Wilkinson (MICHAEL CLAYTON, THE FULL MONTY, THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL), Sissy Spacek (CARRIE, COAL MINER’S DAUGHTER, THE HELP), and Nick Stahl (SIN CITY, THE MAN WITHOUT A FACE, TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES), this 5-time Oscar nominated film is not to be missed. The New York Times calls the film, "An astonishingly rich, detailed and grimly moving piece of work."

SYNOPSIS

In idyllic Mid-Coast Maine, the Fowler family’s only son Frank comes home from his freshman year at college for summer vacation. His mother Ruth, the school choir director, is unhappy with Frank dating soon-to-be divorced mother Natalie who is several years his senior, but Frank’s father Matt, the town doctor, doesn’t see a problem. While Frank considers holding off his future for Natalie, her jilted husband causes them all problems until an unthinkable tragedy shakes the community to its very core.
