Program Notes

Cheryl Hines has been selected to receive the 2nd annual RoC ® Gold Standard in Filmmaking Award for a Feature Female Director.

After she arrives at her country home for a romantic weekend getaway, things don't go exactly as planned for high-powered  Manhattan lawyer Louise (Meg Ryan).  First, her husband of 13 years, Ian (Timothy Hutton), tells her that he's leaving her for a younger woman (Kristen Bell).  Then, one thing leads to another, and pretty soon Ian finds himself held captive by  an oddly cool Louise who explains that she won't release him until he professes his love for her and commits to working on their marriage.  And that's when things REALLY start to go wrong.  The unexpected arrival of an opportunistic young gardener (Justin Long) and Ian's impatient mistress only serve to complicate the crisis even further, while somehow forcing Louise and Ian to reckon with their past and realistically deal with their future.
