Francine

Academy Award winner Melissa Leo delivers a breathtaking performance in this powerful character piece. Full of buried desire coupled with an inability to meaningfully connect, Francine staggers through sex, alcohol, religion and drugs without any lasting effect. The film offers no pat explanations as to how Francine came to be who she is or where she should go next. Instead it explores her character through Leo's incredible instinct, talent and presence which combine to deliver a memorable portrait of one woman's journey
