The film will be released by Tribeca on VOD platforms March 25, before opening theatrically on March 28. Described as “A dreamlike portrait of adolescence unfolding over one hot, hazy summer,” and compared to Malick’s Tree of Life, this is definitely one to look out for. Hit the break to check out the trailer and synopsis.
After a neighborhood tragedy, two young brothers — nine-year-old Tommy (Ryan Jones) and 14-year-old Eric (Nathan Varnson) — confront changing relationships, the mystery of nature, and their own mortality. A dreamlike portrait of adolescence unfolding over one hot, hazy summer, Hide Your Smiling Faces is a startling debut, exploring rural American life through the distorted lens of youth.
