Edie Falco is back; this time, she’s dragging us into the messy chaos of dysfunctional family dynamics in the indie comedy I’ll Be Right There. Directed by Brendan Walsh, the film revolves around Wanda, a woman juggling a pregnant daughter, a wayward son, and a stale love life while trying to hold it together for her complicated family.
With a killer cast including Bradley Whitford, Michael Rapaport, and Jeannie Berlin, this isn’t your cookie-cutter family drama. Expect laughs, heartbreak, and Falco’s signature dry wit to slice through the madness. I’ll Be Right There promises to serve up raw humor as Wanda navigates a world filled with controlling exes, jealous lovers, and a mother who’s convinced she’s on death’s doorstep. It’s the perfect storm of relatable dysfunction and heartwarming resilience.
Director Brendan Walsh puts it best: “I’ll Be Right There is such a pure little script that doesn’t glorify an idyllic family; instead, it glorifies family no matter how un-idyllic it is.”
The film is set to hit theaters on September 6, 2024, so mark your calendars for what looks to be a standout indie comedy in a sea of studio mediocrity. Can Wanda keep her family from imploding? Guess we’ll find out soon enough.
