Acclaimed drama from the director of Far From Heaven and Carol

Twenty years after their notorious tabloid romance, a married couple buckle under the pressure when a Hollywood actress meets them to do research for a film about their past.

After their relationship ignited a tabloid saga two decades ago, Gracie and Joe now lead a seemingly perfect suburban life. Their domestic bliss is disrupted when a famous television actress arrives in their tight-knit community to research her upcoming role as Gracie. As Elizabeth ingratiates herself into the everyday lives of Gracie and Joe, the uncomfortable facts of their scandal unfurl, causing long-dormant emotions to resurface.
