I had forgotten all about Dennis Lee’s Fireflies In The Garden until I saw this new trailer. After searching through our archives I realized the movie began filming in Austin, TX way back in 2007, but now it finally has a release date- October 14th.
Here’s the movie’s synopsis:
To an outsider, the Taylors are the very picture of the successful American family: Charles (Willem Dafoe) is a tenured professor on track to become university president, son Michael (Ryan Reynolds) is a prolific and well-known romance novelist, daughter Ryne (Shannon Lucio) is poised to enter a prestigious law school, and on the day we are introduced to them, matriarch Lisa (Julia Roberts) will graduate from college—decades after leaving to raise her children. But when a serious accident interrupts the celebration, the far more nuanced reality of this Midwestern family’s history and relationships come to light.
What’s up with that? I’ve seen this movie years ago in Germany. So it has been released, maybe just not in the US. It’s pretty good 🙂
