The film is produced by Lawrence and Justine Ciarrocchi. The film stars Jennifer Lawrence (“Don’t Look Up,” “Silver Linings Playbook,” “American Hustle”) and Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta,” “Bullet Train,” “If Beale Street Could Talk”). “Causeway” is directed by Lila Neugebauer (Broadway’s “The Waverly Gallery,” “Maid,” “The Last Thing He Told Me”) and written by Ottessa Moshfegh, Luke Goebel and Elizabeth Sanders.
These two damaged souls’ budding friendship forms the center and the heart of Neugebauer’s debut feature - a quiet but devastating, and ultimately uplifting, story about coming to terms and moving forward. James, it turns out, is also suppressing his own past trauma.
Slowly they start to rely on each other for company and solace. When her truck breaks down she meets James Aucoin (Brian Tyree Henry), who works at the auto repair shop and offers her a ride home. Her doctor (Stephen McKinley Henderson) is wary, and so in the meantime, she gets a job cleaning pools. Staying with her mother (Linda Emond), with whom she shares a tense relationship, all Lynsey wants to do is return to her work as an engineer. But when she returns home to New Orleans she has to face memories even more aching and formative than those she had in service - a reckoning with her childhood. It’s a painful and slow recovery as she relearns to walk and retrains her memory, aided by a chatty but tender caretaker (Jayne Houdyshell).
