Oh! Um…yay, another addiction drama! As if the half dozen or so we’ve had in the last few months wasn’t enough, here comes Four Good Days, which stars Mila Kunis and Glenn Close, who just earned an Oscar nomination for her performance in another movie on a similar topic, Hillbilly Elegy.
Kunis stars as a heroin addict who is just four days of detox away from receiving a treatment that could save her life. Close plays her mother, who sets aside their years of differences to give her daughter one last chance to kick the habit. Also in the cast are Stephen Root, Joshua Leonardo, Carla Gallo, and Rebecca Field.
The film is based on a true story captured in co-writer Eli Saslow’s Washington Post article. Behind the camera is Rodrigo Garcia, who worked with Close on Albert Nobbs, a film that earned one of her many Oscar nominations.
Four Good Days opens on April 30th.
In an emotional journey based on a true story by Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post writer Eli Saslow, 31-year-old Molly begs her estranged mother Deb for help fighting a fierce battle against the demons that have derailed her life. Despite all she has learned over a decade of disappointment, grief and rage, Deb throws herself into one last attempt to save her beloved daughter from the deadly and merciless grip of heroin addiction. Powerhouse performances from Glenn Close and Mila Kunis anchor director Rodrigo García’s poignant and unpredictable chronicle of mother and daughter fighting to regain the love and trust that once held them together.
