IN PERSON SCREENING
A piercing, haunting debut film from
writer-director Stephen Karam, adapted from his Tony Award-winning play that
stars Richard Jenkins, Amy Schumer, Jayne Houdyshell,
Beanie Feldstein, June Squibb and Steven Yeun.
Erik Blake has gathered three
generations of his Pennsylvania family to celebrate Thanksgiving at his
daughter’s apartment in lower Manhattan. As darkness falls outside and eerie
things start to go bump in the night, the group’s deepest fears are laid bare. The
Humans explores the hidden dread of a family and the love that binds them
together.
"Stephen
Karam’s Tony-winning play makes the leap to film with ease, an extraordinarily
well-acted, uncomfortably intimate look at a family at Thanksgiving" - The
Guardian
"Existential
dread has rarely felt so intimate and visceral as in Stephen Karam’s directorial
debut... a remarkably insightful and powerful portrait of the
human condition." - The Hollywood Reporter
