WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Wilson (Harrelson) is a lonely, neurotic and uncomfortably honest middle-aged man who discovers that he has fathered a teenage girl (Amara) with his estranged wife Pippi (Dern), and sets out to reunite with both of them in ways that prove to be painfully awkward but ultimately effective…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Cartoonist Daniel Clowes brings his underground comic protagonist Wilson to life through his adapted screenplay that packs plenty of cynicism to spare, not to mention a no-holes-barred comedic turn by Woody Harrelson.
