Harrowing, hilarious and altogether superb second feature from writer, director, actor, composer (and just about anything else you'd care to mention) Tom Noonan (WHAT HAPPENED WAS...). Jack and Rita (Noonan and Julie Hagerty), a husband-and-wife New Age therapy tag
team, are anticipating a quiet weekend alone. That plan comes crashing down when group therapy patient Cosmo (Wallace Shawn) shows up unexpectedly, with his much younger wife Arlie (Karen Young) in tow. Arlie is loud, abrasive and entirely without boundaries -- everything the overly restrained
Jack and Rita are not. She invites herself in, and it becomes increasingly clear she has no intention of leaving...
