In Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton’s glorious debut feature, a dysfunctional family embark on a ragtag road trip so that 10 year old Olive can compete in a beauty pageant. A breakout smash at Sundance Film Festival in 2006, this is an era-defining American indie comedy brimming with wit, intelligence, humour and a deep empathy for its richly drawn characters.

First class performances from a superb cast including Toni Collette, Steve Carell, Greg Kinnear, Paul Dano and Alan Arkin, a sublime score by Mychael Danna and Devotchka and a special 20th anniversary restoration make this a real treat on the big screen.
