The Greatest

Running time: 98 mins

Susan Sarandon (The Lovely Bones, Dead Man Walking), Pierce Brosnan (The Thomas Crown Affair, Mamma Mia!) and Carey Mulligan (An Education, Public Enemies) headline a superb and powerful story of loss and renewal.

A shocking and tragic accident leave Grace (Sarandon) and Allen (Brosnan) in a place where no parent wants to be?mourning the loss of a child. And when Rose (Mulligan) reveals an unexpected secret, Grace and Allen?s lives are turned even more upside down, replacing bereavement with confusion and turmoil.

Writer-director Shana Feste sensitively handles the emotional trauma of fragile characters with intelligence and grace. Dealing with distress through sadness, obsession, resentment, and ultimately resilience, everyone grapples and copes with the unthinkable in the way each best knows how.

Beautifully shot by cinematographer John Bailey (Ordinary People) and with strong, passionate performances, Feste impressively guides us through a period of utmost sorrow into rebirth, where people put their lives back together and begin anew with peace and hope.
