Yahoo Movies First trailer for Bad Sisters star's critically-acclaimed new movie
Eve Hewson's acclaimed musical dramedy Flora and Son has released an extended first trailer.
Written and directed by John Carney (Once, Begin Again), the film was presented at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and is now set for a limited cinema run and a worldwide Apple TV+ release.
The film stars Hewson as single mum Flora. She lives in Dublin with her rebellious teenage son Max (Orén Kinlan), who engages in minor crimes. Advised by the police to find Max a hobby to keep him from the streets, Flora rescues an old guitar for him to learn to play.

When she realises her son is more interested in rap than he is in learning tabs, Flora will tackle the instrument herself with the help of Los Angeles-based online guitar teacher Jeff, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Lesson after lesson, Flora and Jeff develop a bond, with the young mum also finding a way to connect to her son through music.
The cast is rounded out by Jack Reynor, Sophie Vavasseur and Kelly Thornton.
The film has earned generally positive reviews, currently sitting at a 95% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
