"Shannon’s sensitive direction makes Eric LaRue a haunting, standout film with a career-best performance from Greer."
—IndieWire
Michael Shannon directs an adaptation of Brett Neveu's 2002 play about a mother coping with the fallout after her son murders three of his high school classmates. Janice (Judy Greer) is struggling; she moves through life as if in a haze, unable to let go of her anger and frustration. While her husband (Alexander 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.
