One of the oddest films I’ve seen at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival is Patrick Brice’s The Overnight, which is an unflinching and darkly comedic look at love and sex between two thirty-something couples played by Adam Scott and Taylor Schilling, and Jason Schwartzman and Judith Godrèche.

A new trailer for the film has been released today, which had its original premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and will be released by The Orchard in theaters June 19th. Stay tuned for our review of The Overnight out of Tribeca sometime this week.

Alex, Emily, and their son, RJ, have recently moved to Los Angeles’ Eastside from Seattle. Feeling lost in a new city, they are desperate to find their first new friends. After a chance meeting with Kurt at the neighborhood park, they gladly agree to join family pizza night at the home. But as it gets later and the kids go to bed, the family “playdate” becomes increasingly more revealing and bizarre as the couples begin to open up.

Writer/director Patrick Brice’s second feature is a painfully funny take on thirty-something sexual frustration and parenthood. Featuring memorable lead performances by Taylor Schilling, Adam Scott, Jason Schwartzman, and Judith Godrèche, each actor nimbly balances the script’s sudden emotional turns from surprising honesty to complete embarrassment. Produced by Gettin’ Rad and the Duplass Brothers, THE OVERNIGHT tells a complex story of universal inadequacies.
