JANET PLANET

JANET PLANET (A24) - Film debut by Pulitzer prize winning playwright Annie Baker, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and will soon feature at the New York Film Festival. It will be released in 2024.

“Baker and her production designer Teresa Mastropierro pack their frames with such care that you can almost smell these spaces — the armpits lacking in deodorant, the herbal shampoos, and the musty books. The costumes, by Lizzie Donelan, have a similar effect. Janet wears long skirts, while Lacy is constantly in oversized t-shirts. Her look is not exactly tomboy. It’s more generally undefined.

There is nothing artificial here, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t mystery” -  INDIE WIRE
