Lullaby

Lullaby (2014) is an American family drama directed by Andrew Levitas — watch online on iFILM. Garrett Hedlund plays Jonathan, long estranged from his wealthy New York family, living in Los Angeles by choice. One phone call ends the distance.

His father Robert — fighting cancer for a decade — has decided to take himself off life support the next morning. Jonathan catches the first flight. Richard Jenkins plays Robert with a combination of exhaustion and quiet dignity that makes his position genuinely difficult to argue against, even when his daughter Karen is ready to go to court to stop him. Their mother Rachel cannot pick a side. The cast extends to Amy Adams, Jessica Brown-Findlay, Terrence Howard, Jennifer Hudson, and Philip Hoffman.

Levitas built a film about a family that kept deferring the hardest conversations until forty-eight hours was everything they had left. Stream Lullaby (2014) online on iFILM.
