Almost two years after it premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival,
Michael Shannon's directorial debut Eric Larue is about
to be released, in the US at least. Written by Brett Neveu, who adapted his play of the same name, the film stars
Judy Greer as the mother of an imprisoned school shooter (Nation Sage Henrikson) who prepares for a meeting with the mothers of his victims.
Paul Sparks, Alison Pill, Tracy Letts, Annie Parisse, Kate Arrington and Alexander Skarsgård also star.
Eric Larue is in US cinemas from April 4th. A UK/ROI
release has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
In ERIC LARUE, Janice (Greer) is coping with the fallout after her son murders three of his high school classmates. Struggling and moving through life as if in a haze, she is unable to let go of her anger and frustration. While her husband (Skarsgård) has found refuge at a new church, Janice finds it hard to seek solace in her faith despite her pastor’s pleas to heal her wounds by meeting with the mothers of her son’s victims. As Janice ponders what that meeting could achieve for her and her community, ERIC LARUE asks audiences to witness the frayed emotional ripples that violent acts can engender.
