Ep. 95 - Maggie's Plan Movie Review

What is the best thing that could ever happen to your unpublished novel? Your friend Rebecca Miller asks if she could adapt it for the big screen. ​ Rebecca Miller (yes, daughter of Arthur) helms her 5th feature as both writer & director in Maggie's Plan - a quirky, academic romance set in NYC with ficto-critical anthropologists, a pickle entrepreneur, and some sensible (and not so sensible) shoes. Loosely based on a story by Karen Rinaldi (which, in turn, was grounded in her real life).  ​ Starring Greta Gerwig (Mistress America), Ethan Hawke, and Oscar-winner Julianne Moore (Still Alice). ​ Co-starring Bill Hader (Trainwreck), Maya Rudolph, Travis Fimmel, and Wallace Shawn (The Good Wife). ​ O'Toole didn't want to leave destiny to, well, destiny, so she saw it twice - the first time at the Miami International Film Festival (with Rebecca Miller in attendance). And, no longer talking about the film's love triangles here, Hollister also discusses her newest guilty pleasure: Fixer Upper. ​
