Josh and Benny Safdie’s HEAVEN KNOWS WHAT Gets a New Trailer

I just had the opportunity to check out the upcoming biographical drug drama Heaven Knows What, and although my full review isn’t finished just yet, you can give this new trailer a look and get an idea of what you’re in store for in this movie. The film is directed by Josh and Benny Safdie and follows the life of Arielle Holmes, played by Arielle Holmes, and based off her real life experiences. It blurs the line between documentary and narrative, with the majority of the characters being non-actors, with a few exceptions including Caleb Landry Jones and rapper Necro.

Heaven Knows What opens in theaters May 29th.

Directed by celebrated filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie (LENNY COOKE, DADDY LONGLEGS), HEAVEN KNOWS WHAT blends fiction, formalism and raw documentary as it follows a young heroin addict (Arielle Holmes) who finds mad love in the streets of New York. The film is based on Holmes’ soon-to-be-published memoir Mad Love in New York City. Co-starring Caleb Landry-Jones (X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, BYZANTIUM), HEAVEN KNOWS WHAT also features street legend Buddy Duress and gore rap phenom Necro.
