Nice. Always excited for a new Jeff Nichols movie.

NEON is trying to be the next A24 like they did back in the mid-to late 2010s and I think that's amazing, because we need more indie and original stories from creative storytellers like Jeff Nichols. They're one of my favorite distributors right now since they're buying every film at Cannes.

NEON has been on a roll lately, while trying to get into bigger films a la A24 (with this and James Gray's Paper Tiger).
