The Long Dumb Road
Director: Hannah Fidell (“A Teacher,” “6 Years”)
Cast: Tony Revolori, Jason Mantzoukas, Taissa Farmiga, Grace Gummer, Ron Livingston
Details: Following the acclaimed “A Teacher” and the less seen “6 Years,” filmmaker Hannah Fiddell tries her hand at comedy with this Sundance entry starring “Grand Budapest Hotel” clerk Tony Revolori, and the wonderfully acidic rising comedy great Jason Mantzoukas in a buddy road comedy set across the desert plains of America. In the film a freshman art student leaving home for Los Angeles, and a mechanic trying to escape his bastard of a boss, end up in a car together having deep and meaningful conversations in between bar fights and broken hearts. It’s an unexpected but potentially fun pairing.
