Q&A with Star + Academy Award® Winner Melissa Leo. Moderated by Nicole Quinn.
Academy Award®–winning actress Melissa Leo joins the Woodstock Film Festival for a special in-person Q&A following a screening of THE KNIFE — a tense, timely drama about truth, power, and a family pushed to the brink.
Known for unforgettable performances in THE FIGHTER, FROZEN RIVER, PRISONERS, and more, Leo brings her fierce, commanding presence to the role of a detective in director Nnamdi Asomugha’s provocative new thriller—— and joins us live to discuss the film and her extraordinary career.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see Leo’s powerful performance on the big screen, followed by a conversation with one of the most respected actors working today.
“A domineering performance from Melissa Leo as a detective pursuing the truth beyond acceptable reasoning makes THE KNIFE feel like one of the fresher and more intriguing mysteries this year.”
All Chris wants is to build a promising future for his wife, Alex, and their two daughters—a young family chasing the American Dream. But one fateful night, their world is upended when a stranger mysteriously appears in their home. As tensions rise and unsettling revelations come to light, they must also face Detective Carlsen, whose relentless pursuit of the truth threatens to unravel everything.
Please note this screening is showing at The Mark, which is on the second floor of the Orpheum Theatre. Unfortunately, there is no elevator, so it is not handicap accessible.
