Director: John Early
Cast: John Early, Kate Berlant, Kristen Johnston, Vanessa Bayer, and Chris Bauer.
Comedian John Early’s first film is a tragicomedy about a foodfluencer struggling with bulimia.
Known for his signature offbeat delivery, comedian and actor John Early’s directorial debut delivers as much snark as it does heart. He stars as the food influencer Maddie, struggling to balance her aspirations for a career surrounded by food with a years-long eating disorder she’s kept secret from all those closes to her. Perhaps hardest of all, Maddie’s Secret handles the horror of bulimia with startling clarity, bringing to light the shame, control and self-destruction that underpin binge-eating and purging. It’s a powerful piece of work, risky but deeply rewarding. (ANNA BOGUTSKAYA)
