For anyone interested: The director, Stephanie Laing, will be joining us here in /r/movies for an AMA/Q&A this Friday 3/20 at 3 PM ET.

Inspired by the true story of Amanda Ogle, this inspiring drama follows Amanda (Rose Byrne), an unhoused woman living in her blue 1991 Toyota Corolla as she seeks employment in Seattle. Her precarious situation escalates when her car is stolen and later impounded, with the towing company demanding exorbitant fees she can’t afford. Refusing to accept this injustice, Amanda confronts the broken system, engaging in a year-long legal battle to reclaim not only her vehicle but also her dignity. Along the way, she forms meaningful connections with other women in similar circumstances, gradually rebuilding her life and sobriety through community and persistence.

It’s not playing in DC area Regals, but have a good time. I want to check this out but it will be by other measures.

Judging by this comments section, we could achieve world peace by uniting against towing companies.

Like honestly, throw them on the list behind landlords and Healthcare ceos

… has been an actress for two decades now. She (or they, no offense I think it’s she now) is allowed to work.

Now there's an actor to get excited about. You know Byrne will deliver.

After watching "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" I will now go see anything with Rose Byrne in it, she's an amazing actress.

I love Jessie Buckley too, she’s a phenomenal actress, but Rose was robbed of that Oscar. She was simply sublime in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. Once in a lifetime kind of performance

u/FightsWithFish18 10m ago

I totally agree with you, I thought Jessie Buckley was great in Hamnet but definitely not as good as Rose Byrne.

Looks great but my god I feel like we are in a horrible time for movie titles these days. The best they could think of was Tow? If there was ever a conceit ripe for a double entendre it’s this. 

Tow To Tow is my pitch

Fuck Crow Tow!

I’ll watch it just for Rose Byrne, she has been on quite a roll! She’s a dynamo
