Maddie is a plucky dishwasher who leaps to viral superstardom at a trendy food content creation company. While her life seems picturesque — complete with an adoring husband, ride-or-die best friend and a cupboard full of woman-owned ethically-sourced chili crisp to boot — mounting professional pressures threaten to reawaken a hidden secret from her troubled past.

“Maddie is both wholesome and controlled — one of her recipes might involve a purple potato, sliced so thin on the mandolin that the sunlight shines through it, casting a stained-glass light on her face. This is a Douglas Sirk effect, the stylization pushed to such an extreme of expressiveness that it’s too heightened to as anything but sarcastic, but also too passionate to take as anything but serious, and Early is one contemporary filmmaker – Todd Haynes is another – who sees the exquisite, manicured melodramas of Golden Age Hollywood as a useful template for the era of social media, in which every gesture is also a performance.” ~ Mark Asch, Little White Lies
