Janet Planet

With Annie Baker in person 

Dir. Annie Baker. 2024, 113 mins. U.S. DCP. With Julianne Nicholson, Zoe Ziegler, Elias Koteas, Will Patton, Sophie Okonedo. Annie Baker’s sublime directorial debut is a singular cinematic experience, entering the specific world of a child as she slowly begins to come to terms with the reality around her. In rural Western Massachusetts, 11-year-old Lacy has begged to come home from camp, and spends the rest of summer 1991 at home, enthralled by her own imagination and the attention of her mother, Janet. As the months pass, three visitors enter their orbit, upending Lacy’s understanding of her mother. Baker, a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, captures a child’s experience of time passing in this rich, moving, and strikingly quiet film. An A24 release.
