Lullaby
25 year-old Jonathan (Garrett Hedlund, Tron:Legacy) is a man who rarely looks over his shoulder. Estranged from his wealthy New York family, his life is one of hard-living excess and selfish pursuits as a musician on the make. But when he discovers that his terminally ill father (Academy Award® nominee Richard Jenkins, Burn After Reading) is preparing to remove himself from life-support, Jonathan faces one of the most challenging and emotionally tumultuous 48 hours of his young life.
Forced to reconnect with his kin, mother Rachel (Academy Award® nominee Anne Archer, Fatal Attraction) and uptight sister Karen (Jessica Brown Findlay, Downton Abbey), Jonathan attempts to reconcile his rebellious past, rekindling an all-but-forgotten friendship with Emily (Academy Award® nominee Amy Adams, American Hustle) and crossing paths with a young hospital patient offering plenty of sage advice.
Also featuring Academy Award® winner Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls) and Academy Award® nominee Terence Howard (Hustle & Flow), Lullaby takes a deep and thought-provoking look into the heart of human compassion.
Critic Reviews:
- " Family reunites for dying dad in warm drama; some swearing. " – S. Jhoanna Robledo
- " Culminating in the endurance of memories and hope for the future, “Lullaby” strikes an unforced, resonating chord. It is so much more than just a sad tale. " – Dustin Putman
- " The film has a powerhouse cast, perhaps more than was needed to make the drama work. But the drama is completely engaging. " – Mark R. Leeper
