Maddie’s Secret is comedian, writer, and actor John Early’s critically acclaimed directorial debut, starring Early himself as Maddie, a plucky dishwasher who leaps to viral superstardom at a trendy food content creation company. While her life seems picturesque—complete with an adoring husband (Eric Rahill), ride-or-die best friend (Kate Berlant), and a cupboard full of woman-owned ethically-sourced chili crisp to boot—mounting professional pressures threaten to reawaken a hidden secret from her troubled past. A pitch-perfect blend of satire, melodrama, daring tonal shifts, and intimate performances, Maddie’s Secret marks the arrival of a bold new voice in contemporary cinema.
