is shocked to the core when she falls quickly and deeply in love with
Edo's friend and partner Antonio, and embarks on a passionate love affair
that will change her family forever. Directed by Luca Guadagnino. "I

But at the urging of his ex-wife and best friend Jamie (Keener), John
grudgingly agrees to join her and her fiancé at a party. To his
and everyone else's surprise, he actually manages to meet someone: the
gorgeous and spirited Molly (Tomei). But there is one catch: Molly's
21 year-old son Cyrus (Hill), with whom she shares an unconventional
relationship. Using the innovative improvisational techniques that have
earned them critical accolades and a devoted following, Jay and Mark
Duplass enter the mainstream with a touching, original story that blends

and long-standing career women ever in the business. "Rivers rocks
it. This wild ride will make you laugh and then touch you in ways you
don't see coming." Peter Travers, Rolling Stone. 85 min.
