added: Wed, Jul 6th '16

After losing his wife in a tragic car accident, a grieving man looks for closure and agrees to spend "Five Nights in Maine" with his antagonistic and ailing mother-in-law.

Featuring a strong acting duel between David Oyelowo (Selma, Nightingale) and two-time Oscar-winner Dianne Wiest, "Five Nights in Maine" is the feature debut of writer-director Maris Curran.

The slow-burning, character-driven drama, which also stars Rosie Perez, made its world premiere at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. Since then, it has screened at a number of notable festivals, but will officially be released in select theaters and VOD on August 5th. Watch the trailer, above (courtesy of EW.com).
