Eileen

Spotlight Screening

Set in 1964 during a frigid Boston winter, Eileen (Thomasin McKenzie) leads a bleak life submerged in monotony. She spends her days working as a secretary at a juvenile detention center and her nights caring for her cruel father. When Rebecca (Anne Hathaway) arrives at work, Eileen is enraptured by the beautiful and alluring psychologist. Eileen forms a friendship with her older colleague, but her curiosity quickly turns treacherous.

In a deliberate and powerful performance from Anne Hathaway in this neo-noir narrative, Rebecca wraps Eileen up into a sinister crime. Based on Otessa Moshfegh’s acclaimed 2015 novel, this period thriller explores the hazards of isolation and how far one might go for curiosity’s sake.
