Jennifer Lawrence’s Rest and Relaxation Is Over in Causeway

–>

Jennifer Lawrence is making her debut in the Ottessa Moshfegh multimedia universe. The film is Causeway, and this time, there’s no yearslong, drug-induced slumber or filthy medieval farce, as depicted in the writer’s previous books. Instead, J.Law plays Lynsey, a soldier struggling to return to civilian life in present-day New Orleans. In Forrest Gump fashion, we see Lynsey seated on a bench, contemplating life, in the trailer for the upcoming A24 film. Her palpable anxiety compels her benchmate, a stranger named James (Brian Tyree Henry), to offer his kindness. Though a forlorn, and sometimes angry, Lynsey passes the days in her bedroom or cleaning other people’s pools or treating an unexplained brain injury, her friendship with James gives her a reason to smile. Causeway is co-written by Moshfegh, Elizabeth Sanders, and Luke Goebel and stars Linda Emond, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Jayne Houdyshell, and Russell Harvard as well. Director Lila Neugebauer’s feature-film debut arrives in theaters and on Apple TV+ November 4.
