About In Dire Need of Compassion
Jovan is a Serbian immigrant whose wife has just died in child labor. He moves to Los Angeles to live with his wife’s twin sister, with whom he discovers a kindred romance. Jovan takes a job as a ride share driver, and finds himself in trouble using drugs and promiscuous sex to cope with loss. Living in a new world beyond his control, Jovan is anointed by visions of his wife that keep him on a path to salvation.
Directed by Jonathan Nelson, In Dire Need of Compassion leans on a strong ensemble — Chloë Caro, Amanda Puggle, Jonathan Nelson — 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 drama titles of 2017.
