Set against the vibrant backdrop of a coastal music scene, this intimate drama from director Ira Sachs follows a soulful but struggling jazz pianist played by Rami Malek as he navigates a pivotal summer that could define his future. When his charismatic but volatile older brother, portrayed by Tom Sturridge, returns home with a young protégé in tow, played by Luther Ford, the fragile equilibrium of the family is shattered. Compounding the tension, the pianist finds himself drawn into a complex, emotionally charged connection with a fiercely independent woman, brought to life by Rebecca Hall, whose own ambitions and secrets threaten to upend everything. As he juggles his brother’s reckless schemes, his burgeoning romance, and the demands of his craft, he is forced to confront what he truly wants from life and love. With a rich, melancholic tone and a sharp focus on character, the film weaves a compelling story of artistic passion, sibling rivalry, and the high cost of desire. Ebon Moss-Bachrach co-stars in this layered exploration of the moments that define a man, blending raw emotion with the soulful rhythms of its setting.
