Eileen

Directed by William Oldroyd
Starring Thomasin McKenzie, Anne Hathaway, Shea Whigham, Sam Nivola

Eileen is on the debut novel by Ottessa Moshfegh (My Year of Rest and Relaxation), and directed by William Oldroyd (Lady Macbeth).

Set in  1960s Boston, Eileen (Thomasin McKenzie) shuffles between her father’s dingy, emotionally haunted home and the prison where she works alongside colleagues who have ostracized her. When an intoxicating woman (Anne Hathaway) joins the prison staff, Eileen believes her life is about to take a turn for the better.

Just when the possibility of salvation and a friendship (or maybe more) takes hold, her newfound confidant entangles her in a shocking crime that alters all.
