SAINT FRANCES
Directed by Alex ThompsonCast: Ramona Edith-Williams, Kelly O'Sullivan, Lily Mojekwu, Charin Alvarez
Bridget, a young woman drifting aimlessly through life, contends with an unplanned pregnancy just as she lands a new job nannying the six-year-old daughter of affluent lesbian couple Maya and Annie. Unaccustomed to the emotional flexibility required to be part of someone else’s family, Bridget learns to make peace with her precocious new charge as she becomes embroiled in a growing tension between the two moms. Newcomers Alex Thompson and Kelly O’Sullivan deliver a funny, endearingly irreverent first feature with this SXSW Audience Award winner.
