Susan Sarandonās new film The Meddlerāwhich opened at the Toronto Film Festival in the fall to strong reviews, if only for Sarandonās performance in itāhas been perfectly timed for a full release, coming out April 22, just a couple weeks before Motherās Day on May 8.
Written and directed by Lorene Scafaria of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World and the highly enjoyable Nick and Norahās Infinite Playlist, the movie stars Rose Byrne as Lori and Sarandon as Marnie, Loriās mother, who moves from New Jersey to LA after the death of her husband and... meddles in her daughterās life. Other roles go to J.K. Simmons (who has such a quality, doesnāt he?), and appearances by Cecily Strong, Casey Wilson, and Jerrod Carmichael. Okay, Iām done, you can send this link to mom now.
