Fans of the beloved actor Michael Shannon, who most recently reprised his role as Zod in The Flash movie, understand him as a performer with a strong onscreen presence and even better emotional conviction. After a career of over 30 years, Shannon turns his talents towards directing. A long-time lover of stage plays, it’s not entirely shocking that his debut would be an adaptation of one. In his first feature film, he explores grief, guilt, and blame after a school shooting plagues a small town with turbulent sorrow. Eric LaRue is a devastating and emotionally gripping story enhanced by Shannon’s longtime experience with stage plays and Judy Greer’s perfect performance.
