Karen Gillan and Margaret Sophie Stein facing away from each other on opposite ends of a bench in Late Bloomers
The Big Picture Opposites attract stories can be found everywhere in media. They're often comedic, heartwarming, and/or deeply moving tales about how people with very different upbringings, personalities, and circumstances can put aside what divides them and come together to form a powerful bond.
Late Bloomers stars Gillan as Louise, who is struggling to get by now that she's newly single and trying to find her voice as a musician in New York, all while battling depression. The trailer begins as things go from bad to worse when drunken escapades lead to her stumbling and breaking her hip, sending her to a physical therapy ward where she is by far the youngest patient.
As the film unfolds, Louise and Antonina will slowly bridge the gap between their two worlds. It begins begrudgingly, with Antonina giving death glares and menacingly ramming her walker in a show of disgust. They begin exploring the realities of aging together, reflecting on memories from the Polish woman's life and finding ways to communicate despite speaking different languages.
'Late Bloomers' Faced a Long Road to the Big Screen Late Bloomers makes the feature directorial debut of Plus One co-producer Lisa Steen with her usual creative partner Anna Greenfield penning the script. Their film originally debuted at SXSW in 2023 but took until this March to land with a distributor - Vertical Entertainment. It's a surprisingly long wait for what was otherwise a well-received film that scored a solid 80% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
Rounding out the cast for Late Bloomers are Jermaine Fowler, Kevin Nealon, Talia Balsom, and Michelle Twarowska. The film is due out in theaters and on digital platforms on June 7. Check out the trailer below and the exclusive new poster above:
