Eileen (2023)

Critics Choice nominee Thomasin McKenzie (Last Night in Soho, Jojo Rabbit) and Oscar winner Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada) star in Eileen

Set during a bitter 1964 Massachusetts winter, the psychological thriller centres on Eileen, a young secretary who becomes enchanted with Rebecca, the glamorous new counsellor at the boys’ correctional facility where she works. Their budding friendship takes a twisted turn when Rebecca reveals a dark secret — setting Eileen on a sinister path.

“Eileen Is the Anti-Christmas Movie You Never Knew You Needed,” Vogue headlined, calling it, “a gem destined for cult classic status… an unbearably tense Hitchcockian thriller…  a moody, sexy, filthy, dangerous sliver of a film that drives a freezing, smoke-filled truck through all the cloying seasonal cheer.”

Bestselling author Ottessa Moshfegh adapts her own novel of the same name. Eileen’s cast includes Critics Choice nominee Shea Whigham (Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning), Owen Teague (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the It films), Tonye Patano (Heylia in Weeds) and Marin Ireland (The Umbrella Academy).
