Melissa (Naomi Watts) and her boyfriend Richie (Matt Dillon) are living in a motel room and just scraping by between her minimum wage job and his monthly disability check, but they haven’t let their living situation sour their loving relationship. The couple is initially overjoyed by the news that Melissa is pregnant, in spite of the obvious financial burden that comes with a child-but their happiness is short-lived, as circumstances conspire to push them further into poverty. Laurie Collyer (“Sherrybaby,” TCFF ‘07) perfectly captures real-life challenges faced by working class Americans in this powerful social drama, vividly realized by skillful, layered performances from Watts and Dillon, as well as a spectacular supporting turn from Norman Reedus (“The Walking Dead”) as Melissa’s abusive pill-pushing ex. In Person: Director Laurie Collyer.
