It’s probably best strapping yourself into Colin West’s critically acclaimed drama Linoleum knowing as little as possible, and perhaps then you’ll have the same experience we did when it became one of the “best discoveries of the year” during the 2022 BFI London Film Festival.
You can check out our ★★★★★ review here, but in the meantime star Jim Gaffigan has shared the first official trailer, which you can check out below…
Cameron Edwin (Jim Gaffigan), the host of a failing children’s science TV show called “Above & Beyond”, has always had aspirations of being an astronaut. After a mysterious space-race era satellite coincidentally falls from space and lands in his backyard, his midlife crisis manifests in a plan to rebuild the machine into his dream rocket. As his relationship with his wife (Rhea Seehorn) and daughter (Katelyn Nacon) start to strain, surreal events begin unfolding around him — a doppelgänger moving into the house next door, a car falling from the sky, and an unusual teenage boy forging a friendship with him. He slowly starts to piece these events together to ultimately reveal that there’s more to his life story than he once thought.
Linoleum is in U.S. Theatres from February 23, 2023.
