Annie (Rose Byrne) is stuck in a long-term relationship with Duncan (Chris O’Dowd) – an obsessive fan of obscure rocker Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke). When the acoustic demo of Tucker’s hit record from 25 years ago surfaces, its release leads to a life-changing encounter with the elusive rocker himself. Based on the novel by Australian author Nick Hornby, Juliet, Naked is a comic account of life’s second chances.
REVIEWS:
“Smartly paced and superbly acted, Juliet, Naked can lay claim to being this year’s brightest comedy to date.”– David Stratton, The Australian
“It’s charming, funny, and very smart. And this might sound crazy, but I’ve never liked Ethan Hawke more than in this film, where he pokes fun at his own status as an aging ’90s icon.” – Elinor Jones, The Stranger Seattle
“Even if it’s one of the lesser Hornby adaptations, it’s still engaging and intelligent about the human condition.” –Peter Byrnes, Sydney Morning Herald.
