'Sacramento' will screen at the Mill Valley Film Festival in October 2024

'Sacramento' will screen at the Mill Valley Film Festival. The film festival runs 3-13 October.

Longtime best friends Glenn (Michael Cera, Molly’s Game, MVFF40) and Rickey (cowriter-director Michael Angarano) could not be more different. Glenn is organized and anxious; Rickey is unpredictable and laid back. Glenn lives a quiet life with his wife preparing for the birth of his first child, while Rickey just got kicked out of a convalescent home and has nowhere to go. Despite their divergent paths, the pair have maintained a tight bond over the years. So, when Rickey suddenly appears in Glenn’s backyard, it’s not surprising that this unannounced visit leads to the two taking a spontaneous road trip to Sacramento to spread the ashes of Rickey’s father. Throughout the journey, the two explore the bonds of their friendship and finally learn to process their emotions. Kristen Stewart (Seberg, MVFF42) and Maya Erskine costar in this heartwarming and emotional comedy. —Bri’anna Moore

'Spencer' will screen at the Mill Valley Film Festival in October 2021

SPENCER

What more is there to say about the late Princess Diana, whose life pop culture has already thoroughly dissected? Plenty, as it turns out, when Pablo Larraín is the auteur interpreting the very public life of the beloved Princess of Wales. The Jackie (MVFF 2017) director will have audiences clutching their pearls at the sight of this gripping, unconventional take on an unhappily married Diana, played with intense insight and emotional heft by Kristen Stewart. Focused on a suffocating 1991 Christmas with the royal family at the pristine Sandringham grounds in Norfolk, England, Larraín and screenwriter Steven Knight weave elements of The Wizard of Oz, A Christmas Carol, and even It’s a Wonderful Life into a provocative fable, as daring as it is unpredictable. Rich period details; a cast full of acting royalty including Sally Hawkins and Timothy Spall; and Jonny Greenwood’s eclectic soundtrack support every unforgettable moment. –Randy Myers
