TO LESLIE
Starring ANDREA
RISEBOROUGH – 2023 Academy Award Nominee for Best Actress
Leslie (Andrea
Riseborough) is a West Texas single mother struggling to provide for her
son (Owen Teague) when she wins the
lottery and a chance at a good life. But a few short years later the money is
gone and Leslie is on her own, living hard and fast at the bottom of a bottle
as she runs from the world of heartbreak she left behind. With her charm
running out and with nowhere to go, Leslie is forced to return home to her
former friends Nancy and Dutch (Allison
Janney, Stephen Root). Unwelcome
and unwanted by those she wronged, it's a lonely motel clerk named Sweeney (Marc Maron) who takes a chance when no
one else will. With his support, Leslie comes face to face with the
consequences of her actions, a life of regret, and a second chance to make a
good life for her and her son. (US,
