Set in the mid-1990s, this bittersweet comedy-drama from director Gillian Robespierre follows two sisters navigating the messy complications of love, loyalty, and family in bustling New York City. Dana (played by Jenny Slate), a pragmatic magazine writer, is grappling with her impending marriage to her devoted fiancé, played by Jay Duplass, while her free-spirited younger sister Ali (Abby Quinn) is experimenting with a rebellious new boyfriend. Their world is turned upside down when Ali stumbles upon evidence suggesting their beloved father, portrayed by John Turturro, may be having an affair. Torn between protecting their mother (played by Edie Falco) and confronting the unsettling truth, the sisters form an unlikely alliance, digging deeper into secrets that threaten to unravel their seemingly perfect suburban household. As Dana finds herself increasingly tempted by a charismatic old flame (Finn Wittrock), the two women must decide whether to expose the deception or preserve the fragile peace. With sharp wit, heartfelt performances, and a nostalgic soundtrack, Landline is a warm and honest exploration of the flawed, complicated bonds that hold families together even when they seem to be falling apart.
