Obvious Child
Obvious Child is one of the indie films not to miss this summer as Gillian Robespierre makes her feature film directorial debut.
Obvious Child is based on the short of the same name, as sees Robespierre on writing duties as well as in the director's chair.
The movie screened at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and now it is going to set the big screen alight.
This is one of the summer films that I am looking forward to, and we have the brand new trailer for you to check out:
Jenny Slate will take on the central role of Donna, and is joined on the cast list by Jake Lacy, Gaby Hoffman, Gabe Liedman, and Polly Draper.
Obvious Child is the story of unapologetic Brooklyn comedian Donna Stern (Slate), a twenty-something loose cannon who gets dumped, fired and pregnant in quick succession.
Better at cracking jokes about her flatulence and the contents of her knickers in her weekly stand-up routine than doing her taxes, Donna has a lot of growing up to do.
With her parents nudging her to take control of her life, Donna is forced to do just that when she falls pregnant following a one-night stand with clean-cut, sensible Max (Lacy) - a guy not remotely her type - and decides to seek the choice most responsible to her future.
With the support of her friends Nellie (Hoffmann) and Joey (Liedman), Donna learns how to be brave, honest and vulnerable in real life; not just on stage.
If you are looking for an alternative to the blockbuster this August, Obvious Child is a great place to start.
Obvious Child is released 29th August.
