Introduction with writer/director Jay Duplass and writer/actor Michael Strassner on September 2 at 8:00pm

2025. 99 m. Jay Duplass. IFC Films. US. English. Rated R.

On Christmas Eve, Cliff (Michael Strassner), a newly sober improv comedian, cracks a tooth and lands in the emergency care of Didi (Liz Larsen), an older no-nonsense dentist. What begins as a routine check-up sparks an unpredictable evening of misadventures. Together, Cliff and Didi fight to overcome being shut out by their families, face their biggest fears, and discover their own surprising and tender connection.

The September 2 6:45pm Q&A is SOLD OUT. There will be a standby line starting one hour before showtime in person at the box office.

Opens September 5

6:45 pm Q&A screening with Filmmakers (Sold Out): $20 (members) $25 (nonmembers)

8:00 pm Intro screening with Filmmakers: $15 (members) $20 (nonmembers)

"It’s an incredibly funny, genuinely moving character study that’s not explicitly 'about' anything but these two lovely people."
Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

"While the film may embrace a low-budget, drab-naturalistic aesthetic, it’s far from dull. Duplass, Strassner, and Larsen brilliantly execute one of the year’s finest romantic comedies."
John Fink, The Film Stage
