Cinereach grantee Return, written and directed by Liza Johnson and produced by Noah Harlan & Ben Howe, opens in theaters in NY & LA Friday, February 10th.
Return, which premiered last year at the Cannes Director’s Fortnight, draws you into the life of Kelli, a soldier returning from an overseas tour of duty. The film features powerful performances from Linda Cardellini and Michael Shannon and, according to Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out NY, represents “what indie filmmaking ought to be” and gets at “the heart of the American experience for many.”
Be sure to check out indieWire’s interviews with Linda Cardellini and Michael Shannon for more context.
Cinereach is proud to have been one of many organizations along the way to have supported the film.
After it’s NYC and California opening in select theaters, Return further expands to Columbus, Ohio and Williamstown, MA in March. Focus World will release the film via digital platforms beginning February 28th. Watch the trailer here.
