Momentum Pictures has released an official trailer for Black Bear, starring Aubrey Plaza. The film first premiered at Sundance earlier this year and was met with a positive reception. Let’s check out the trailer and see if Sundance knows what it’s talking about.
Has Aubrey Plaza won an Oscar yet? No? How about be nominated? Seriously, I used to dismiss Plaza as an okay actress, but lately I’ve been slapping myself for ever thinking that. She’s been absolutely killing it with every film I’ve seen her in.
I know there was talk about her getting some awards recognition for Ingrid Goes West, but that never happened. Maybe Black Bear will rectify that.
Either way, this looks like the right sort of suspense film that is attracting to me. I’ll definitely be watching this.
Plot Synopsis:
At a remote lake house in the Adirondack Mountains, a couple entertains an out-of-town guest looking for inspiration in her filmmaking. The group quickly falls into a calculated game of desire, manipulation, and jealousy, unaware of how dangerously convoluted their lives will soon become in the filmmaker’s pursuit of a work of art, which blurs the boundaries between autobiography and invention.
Black Bear hits theaters December 4, 2020.
