Magnolia Pictures is set to release Michael Shannon’s directorial debut ERIC LARUE on VOD and digital platforms later this year, arriving on April 11th, 2025. The film world premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival and will have a limited theatrical release on April 4th, 2025.

Eric Larue is directed Michael Shannon and was written by Brett Neveu, which is based on his 2002 play of the same name. It stars Judy Greer, Alexander Skarsgård, Alison Pill, Paul Sparks, and Tracy Letts.

In the film, Janice (Greer) is coping with the fallout after her son murders three of his high school classmates. Struggling and moving through life as if in a haze, she is unable to let go of her anger and frustration. While her husband (Skarsgård) has found refuge at a new church, Janice finds it hard to seek solace in her faith despite her pastor’s pleas to heal her wounds by meeting with the mothers of her son’s victims.

As Janice ponders what that meeting could achieve for her and her community, ERIC LARUE asks audiences to witness the frayed emotional ripples that violent acts can engender.
