The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2020, earning critical praise and highlighting one of Plaza’s standout performances.
They reunited in 2023 for the Off-Broadway revival of John Patrick Shanley’s Danny and the Deep Blue Sea. Abbott gained fame for his role as the on-again, off-again boyfriend of Marnie, played by Allison Williams, in HBO’s Girls.
