Susan Sarandon and Pierce Brosnan star as a married couple reeling from the death of their teenage son in Shana Feste's powerful directorial debut. When Bennett Brewer (Aaron Johnson) is killed after a truck collides with his car, his mother Grace (Sarandon) becomes fixated with discovering what his last words were, waiting for the man they were spoken to (Michael Shannon) to come out of his accident-induced coma. Meanwhile, her math professor husband Allen (Brosnan), is immobilized by his inability to express his grief, and their surviving son (Johnny Simmons) is sliding into drug use that might be more than recreational. This disintegrating family is thrown for bigger loop by a potential new member: Rose (Carey Mulligan), the girl who was with Bennett when he died, and who is pregnant with his child. THE GREATEST explores the ways in which love can persist and life can re-assert itself in the face of seemingly all-consuming tragedy.
