Lovely, Still

Monterey media is very pleased to announce the theatrical premiere and release of “Lovely, Still”, an “Uncommonly lovely”, “Brilliant”, “Masterfully told” and “Remarkable” film starring Academy Award winners Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn. In this mysterious and tender love story, what begins as an awkward encounter quickly blossoms into a new chance for romance and the elderly couple’s love affair takes us on a heartfelt and wonderful journey that reveals a most unexpected twist.

“Beautiful film. The chemistry between the two of them is so beautiful and the astonishing poignancy of the final scene is applause-worthy in and of itself. One of the great pleasures of Lovely, Still is the mere sight of Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn on screen together.” – eFilmCritic

Skillfully and sensitively directed by Nik Fackler, the film also stars Elizabeth Banks (Zack and Miri, W., Spider-Man) and Adam Scott (Leap Year, Step Brothers), and features original music by singer-songwriter and guitarist Conor Oberst, whom NPR praised as “one of the best lyricists making music in the 21st century” and a score by Nate Walcott and Mike Mogis, all 3 of whom comprise the permanent members of American band and indie favorite Bright Eyes

“A movie as expertly made as this, and as tender and subtly beautiful as this,deserves to be seen.” -Cinematical
