THE MEND

Genre: Dark Comedy  (111 minutes)

Mat (Josh Lucas), a reckless drifter pushing 40, shows up unexpectedly at his gainfully employed brother Alan’s apartment—and never leaves, turning his seemingly stable sibling’s life upside down. In this deliriously unhinged and unpredictable debut feature, Magary steers this dark comic tale of brotherly love and hate into increasingly freewheeling, nihilistic territory, the sense of disorientation heightened by a modern classical score.

Cast: Josh Lucas, Stephen Plunkett, Lucy Owen, Mickey Sumner

Film Festivals: SXSW FF, Sarasota FF, Bam Cinema Fest, Possible Worlds FF.

U.S. Theatrical Release: August 21, 2015.
