Overview

Summer, 1984: 30 years after Duane captained the high school football team and Jacy was homecoming queen, this Texas town near Wichita Falls prepares for its centennial. Oil prices are down, banks are failing, and Duane's $12 million in debt. His wife Karla drinks too much, his children are always in trouble, and he tom-cats around with the wives of friends. Jacy's back in town, after a mildly successful acting career, life in Italy, and the death of her son. Folks assume Duane and Jacy will resume their high school romance. And Sonny is "tired in his mind," causing worries for his safety. Can these friends find equilibrium in middle age?

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A languid return to a small Texas town where former high school sweethearts and old friends grapple with how little their lives have turned out the way they imagined. It's a portrait of middle-age reckoning dressed in the faded glamour of an old romance.
