A new trailer has arrived for the Sundance film “The Evening Hour” (via The Film Stage), and this new teaser gives us a first real look at the upcoming drama. “The Evening Hour” cast includes Philip Ettinger (known for HBO‘s “I Know This Much is True” and Paul Schrader‘s “First Reformed“), Stacy Martin, Cosmo Jarvis, Kerry Bishé, Lili Taylor, Michael Trotter, Marc Menchaca, Ross Partridge, Frank Hoyt Taylor, and Tess Harper.
Braden King (“Here“) directs from a script penned by Elizabeth Palmore.
The Playlist’s Sundance review written by Joe Blessing called the film “A quietly powerful portrait of a young man forced to make impossible decisions to try to live decently in a landscape torn apart by forces far larger than himself, “The Evening Hour” is both an empathetic and sobering drama.” While Marc Ruffalo won all the awards for HBO’s “I Know This Much Is True,” including the Emmy and Golden Globe, Ettinger’s work as the younger version of Ruffalo in college was terrific work that really stood out. Keep an eye on him, as his career is probably only going to grow from here.

Cole (Ettinger), a popular, young health aide at a nursing home living in rural Appalachia, makes ends meet by redistributing excess medication from townies to local buyers. Among a community low on opportunities but seemingly awash in pill bottles, he envisions himself as a caretaker, genuinely fond of his suppliers and keeping addicted customers out of the path of the town’s menacing kingpin. The fragile balance of his double life is suddenly threatened when childhood friend Terry Rose returns after years away with plans to capitalize on what he perceives as Cole’s place in the local drug trade.
“The Evening Hour” will open in limited release this month on July 30 at NYC’s IFC Center and August 6 at LA’s Laemmle Theaters. I guess we’ll have to wait for news if they attempt a wide release or streaming/VOD option.
