What they share

Both films are directed by Scott Coffey, and they both carry the bittersweet, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Adult World, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ellie Parker is

A character study, if that character was always "on". Ellie Parker struggles to make it as an actress in Los Angeles while juggling a deadbeat boyfriend and the daily humiliations of auditioning. It is what it is, and that's a movie.
