“Music is extremely important to me. I knew, with this film, that I wanted all the songs to be period accurate, from the early aughts, and Mary Ramos, our incredible music supervisor, was making amazingly nostalgic 2000s playlists for us before we even started filming. When Mary told me that Este Haim had read the script and was interested in composing the score, I leapt at the chance to meet her. I have been a huge fan of Haim’s for over a decade, and I knew Este and I were similar in age, both of us were coming of age in the early aughts. I listened to the other scores that she and her partner, Chris Stracey, had created for Maid and Cha Cha Real Smooth and fell in love with the emotion and energy behind their sound,” explains director Laura Chinn about the score.
“When Este and I first met, we immediately bonded over listening to the same music as teenagers (Devendra Banhart, My Morning Jacket, Erykah Badu) and I just instinctively knew she was the perfect composer for this film. She and Chris sent us tracks very early on, after they watched the first cut, and suddenly the film had its own musical language, they nailed the tone and wonderfully balanced real emotion with a lighthearted touch, never making the score emotionally manipulative or inauthentic.”
Inspired by the semi-autobiographical story of a teenager (Nico Parker) who, while caring for her brother along with her audacious mother (Laura Linney), strikes up an unlikely friendship with an eccentric activist (Woody Harrelson) who is protesting one of the most landmark medical cases of all time.
