ANGELIKA’S NOTE

A romantic love story of the care that people can have for strangers, Kate Winslet (REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, TITANIC) and Josh Brolin (NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, INHERENT VICE) star as an abandoned single mother and escaped convict who fall in love over Labor Day weekend, directed by Jason Reitman (JUNO, THANK YOU FOR SMOKING). Empire Magazine calls the film: "A tender, nostalgic and warm 'family' drama which also quietly seethes with the threat and tension of imminent danger. Labor Day shows a new side to Jason Reitman as a filmmaker, and we like it.”

SYNOPSIS

Depressed single mom Adele and her son Henry offer a wounded, fearsome man a ride. As police search town for the escaped convict, the mother and son gradually learn his true story as their options become increasingly limited.
