Playback

With hope lingering by a thread, a fragile old man suffers alone. He is guided by the expectation that he will one day reunite with the only person in his life that's still family, until things take a turn for the worse.

Directed by Matthew Herzog, Playback leans on a strong ensemble — David Dotterer, Nadine Louise — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2024.
