“In sweetly calibrated moments … Landline finds the analog joy it’s reaching for.” (Entertainment Weekly)
When wild teenager Ali (newcomer Abby Quinn) discovers her father (John Turturro) may be having an affair, she ropes her older sister Dana (Jenny Slate, Gifted, Obvious Child)—who is recently engaged and struggling with her own fidelity—into helping her uncover the truth. The two siblings attempt to investigate without tipping off their mother (Edie Falco) and discover the messy reality of love and sex in the process. Filmmaker Gillian Robespierre (in her second collaboration with Slate and writer Elisabeth Holm following their breakout hit Obvious Child) lovingly recaptures the ubiquitous cigarette smoke and payphones of 1990s Manhattan in this warm and insightful comedic drama about a family united by secrets and lies.
