And that’s no joke, Aries really don’t know what else to be but a boss, CEO or innovator, because they’d rather play by their own rules. They march to the beat of their own drum and rarely ever need anyone to play backup instrumentals.

Rating: 3.5/5.0

In Florida, teenaged Max (Cree Kawa) ends up in the Suncoast hospice center, the same facility as Terri Schiavo … whose case sparked a right-to-die debate. Max’s single mother Kristine (Laura Linney) and sister Doris (Nico Parker) cannot care for him anymore, as he is dying of terminal brain cancer. As the Schiavo case plays out right in front of them, they are mourning their own losses and opportunities, which includes Doris not having a normal teenage life. Things change when she meets a Christian activist named Paul (Woody Harrelson) and at the same time becomes popular with her party hardy classmates.

Nico Parker (The Last of Us) delivers an impressive performance as a teenager struggling with more than her fair share of family trauma in writer/director Laura Chinn’s Suncoast. The R-rated drama is a deeply personal coming-of-age story based on Chinn’s own experiences growing up with a single mother and an older brother who passed away from cancer.

There’s a pivotal scene early on in Suncoast with Doris (Parker) ticking off a list of family members who are either dead or dying. She’s not angry or frustrated, just matter-of-fact about her family history. Wise beyond her 17 years, Doris has accepted that these circumstances are beyond her control.

That’s Doris. She doesn’t rage; she accepts her situation. She’ll be her brother’s caretaker and second fiddle in...

Disney+ has unleashed the trailer and key art for ‘Suncoast,’ written and directed by Laura Chinn.

Based on the semi-autobiographical story of a teenager (Nico Parker) who, while caring for her brother along with her audacious mother (Laura Linney), strikes up an unlikely friendship with an eccentric activist (Woody Harrelson) who is protesting one of the most landmark medical cases of all time.

Searchlight Pictures presents, a Freestyle Picture Company and 7 Deuce Entertainment Production, “Suncoast”, written and directed by Laura Chinn, and produced by Jeremy Plager, Francesca Silvestri, Kevin Chinoy, and Oly Obst. Executive producers are Chris Stinson, Amy Greene, and Anna Schwartz.

The film stars Laura Linney, Nico Parker, Matt Walsh, Keyla Monterosso Mejia, Scott MacArthur, Ella Anderson, Daniella Taylor, Amarr, Ariel Martin, and Woody Harrelson.

The Original movie had its world premiere at the...

Floridian residents of a certain age viscerally remember the name Terri Schiavo. She was a woman in a vegetative state who became the center of a national right-to-die debate when her husband petitioned against her parents to remove her feeding tube. Filmmaker Laura Chinn had a unique experience of the case, which took place in her hometown of Clearwater: her brother shared a hospice center with Schiavo in the mid-aughts as the case reached its divisive climax.

That’s the inspiration for her debut feature Suncoast, which she wrote and directed. Set at the same time and place, the film is a dramedy that wears its messy little heart on its sleeve. Beautifully shot and acted, it refuses to take sides in one of the most controversial modern debates, and is all the better for it.

Doris (Nico Parker) and her mother Kristine (Laura Linney) are struggling to get by...

Laura Chinn’s directorial debut, Suncoast, is based on the filmmaker’s own experience growing up in Florida in the early 2000s, when her younger brother, blind and deaf and in a wheelchair from brain cancer, was placed in the same hospice center that Terri Schiavo was at. It’s a harrowing story that Chinn detailed in her 2022 memoir titled Acne.

The contrast between the media circus and heated protests surrounding Schiavo’s case and the private suffering of a family—Kristine (Laura Linney) and her teenage daughter, Doris (Nico Parker)—who’s been saying a very long goodbye to Max (Cree Kawa) for nearly a decade, should have orchestrated a riveting tension. Instead, the Schiavo case is a barely felt presence, serving only to bring Doris, exhausted by years of helping care for her brother under the watch of her overbearing mother, into the orbit of Paul (Woody Harrelson...

It can feel discordant to see someone mourning amid the pastel-hued bungalows of a beach-bound town, beneath a blue sky. Not that single mom Kristine is grieving exactly in bittersweet, comedic Sundance drama “Suncoast” — a fact Laura Linney’s character makes decidedly clear to a counselor at the hospice center of the title. After all, her son Max (a very still Cree Kawa), who’s dying of brain cancer, isn’t gone yet; he’s just no longer there.

Daughter Doris (Nico Parker), however, is still very present, and she’s bristling under years of Kristine’s not-grieving and Max’s unresolved state. If that sounds harsh, it really isn’t. In her semi-autobiographical directorial debut, Laura Chinn places her sympathies with the child who isn’t ill, at least at the outset. Doris has been conscripted into the kind of caretaking that can tax even the most trained of adults,...

There’s a core of authentically devastating family experience and personal investment that saves Suncoast from its unskilled handling, giving this grief drama, coming-of-age combo a heart to counter its predictability. Cynics too often roll their eyes while generalizing about the tired formula of the “Sundance movie,” but this one ticks all the boxes and even features an impossibly saintly character played by Woody Harrelson, who could have been conceived expressly for Park City audiences hungry for the prescribed dosage of funny-sad feels. On that elementary level, actor Laura Chinn’s first effort as writer-director gets by.

What makes Suncoast more palatable than those unpromising elements would suggest is the knowledge that Chinn is working from the autobiographical kernel of losing her brother to cancer as a teenager in 2005, when what should have been his peaceful final few months of hospice care were disrupted by the media circus and sanctimonious...

Laura Chinn’s feature film writing and directing debut hits close to the heart — her heart especially — in a semi-autobiographical story set in 2005 and inspired by her own growing pains at a dark time in her family’s life as her brother is dying of cancer and moved unknowingly into what turned out to be the same nursing facility, Suncoast, where Terri Schiavo was also a patient.

If you don’t know the name, Terri Schiavo, you probably weren’t seeing the news in 2005 as this was the notorious right-to-die case that actually started in 1998 in a dispute between Schiavo’s husband and parents over removing the feeding tube of the woman who was in a irreversible vegetative state. It sparked worldwide protests by many on all sides including religious zealots, non-stop news coverage, government interference and more all playing out in front of this Florida facility where Chinn’s brother,...

Kristen Stewart’s domination of the 2024 Sundance Film Festival continued at the Variety Sundance Cover Party presented by United Airlines, where Stewart was honored for her starring roles in two big festival premieres: “Love Me,” a post-apocalyptic romance film in which she stars opposite Steven Yeun, and “Loves Lies Bleeding,” an A24-backed crime thriller in which she played a reclusive gym manager who falls for a local bodybuilder.

“It’s hard to get here,” Stewart told Variety at the party about returning to Sundance, where she has premiered more than a dozen movies throughout her career. “Not because it’s an established and elite film festival, but because it supports marginalized voices. Voices that aren’t heard anywhere else. It’s a solidifying, communal feeling and it only makes you stronger to go back into a world of a ‘no’ and say, ‘I know that there’s a place for me.

Laura Chinn’s “Suncoast” is getting a theatrical release ahead of its previously announced debut on Hulu and other Disney streaming platforms. The Searchlight Pictures Film, an intensely personal, semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story, is having its world premiere on Sunday at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The cast includes rising star Nico Parker (“The Last of Us”) along with Oscar nominees Laura Linney and Woody Harrelson.

“Suncoast” will be released in select Los Angeles and New York theaters on Feb. 2, 2024, as well as in additional markets including Tampa, Phoenix, Kansas City, Denver, Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphia, Miami. The film will then stream exclusively on Disney’s streaming platforms beginning on Feb. 9, 2024, on Hulu in the U.S., Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in all other territories.

The movie follows a teenager (Nico Parker) who is trying to forge her own friendships and adjust to high school while also caring for her brother.

Searchlight Pictures unveiled the first Suncoast trailer ahead of the film’s debut at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. The coming-of-age indie drama stars Nico Parker (The Last of Us) as a teen who’s dealing with a dying brother.

Writer Laura Chinn (Florida Girls creator) makes her directorial debut with a film based on her own experiences. Three-time Oscar nominee Laura Linney stars as Parker’s mom, and three-time Oscar nominee Woody Harrelson plays an “eccentric activist who is protesting one of the most landmark medical cases of all time.”

The cast also includes Daniella Taylor, Ella Anderson, Amarr, and Ariel Martin. Jeremy Plager, Francesca Silvestri, Kevin Chinoy, and Oly Obst served as producers.

Suncoast will premiere on Hulu on February 9, 2024.

Never fear, Henry Danger's still here, at least for a little while. Although it's not being announced as season six renewal, Nickelodeon has ordered 10 additional episodes of its Henry Danger TV show. The increased order will bring the kids comedy well past the 100-episode benchmark, to 117. Whether Henry Danger will be cancelled or renewed beyond that point has not been revealed. One thing to keep in mind is that children's shows tend to run fewer seasons, and additional episode orders of this size sometimes telegraph that the series is working toward its ending.

Brie Larson takes the lead in The Glass Castle, that lands in UK cinemas today. Here's our review...

The Glass Castle is the kind of film which used to be more common but doesn’t appear so often anymore – at least to this extent of quality, profile and budget. 'Based on a true story about a dysfunctional family' films tend to appear on tv at anti-social times and on anti-social channels, which varying degrees of success. Thankfully, for the most part, The Glass Castle is a real success. It’s a moving tale of a family across the decades, overcoming obstacles thrown at them by the outside world and each other.

A unit, unlike any other, who spent the childhood of their four children squatting in homes and living in poverty – second eldest Jeannette wrote her memoir in 2005, sharing the story of her unconventional childhood and her deeply dysfunctional parents with the world.

With just a few weeks left in the big Summer season, Hollywood hopes to get a slight jump on the serious Fall/Winter awards time with an adaptation of an acclaimed biographical novel. Oh, and it’s a “heart-tugger’ about an offbeat family. Now, such movies can be heartwarming like Meet Me In St. Louis and I Remember Mama, or countless other syrupy-sweet homages to home and hearth. And then there’s the opposite, the tough profiles of hard lives with difficult heads of the household like The Great Santini or (gasp) Mommie Dearest. Really, this new flick could almost be “Daddy Dearest”, as its main focus is a man who made life difficult for his offspring, due partly to his boozing, but mainly because he could never really realize his dreams, particularly his elaborate, unmade plans for The Glass Castle.

Those blueprints are a long ago memory for successful...

Based on an unsparing, unprettified 2005 family memoir by former gossip columnist Jeanette Walls, The Glass Castle arrives on the big screen slicked up and eager to sooth when it should be ready to rumble. Walls pulled no punches on the page, using her own childhood to build a microcosm of poverty in America and what it does to children. She and her three siblings had to shit in a bucket and get by without heat, electricity and plumbing. The family lived off the grid as squatters, before settling awhile in...
