About this movie

From playwright and screenwriter Paul Rudnick, and directed by Jay Roach, comes this socially distanced HBO satire that tells the stories of five distinct and impassioned characters as they grapple with politics, culture and the pandemic. Adapted from Rudnick's play and filmed under quarantine guidelines in the summer of 2020, this comedy stars Bette Midler, Kaitlyn Dever, Dan Levy, Sarah Paulson and Issa Rae as the quintet who reacts with frustration, hilarity and introspection when forced to cope with the shutdown in isolation.
