It looks like John Krasinski's Jarhead cameo paid off, since he's starring opposite Maya Rudolph in Sam Mendes' next film, Away We Go, the trailer of which is now online. It's melancholic summer counter-programming (Focus Features, June 5, platforming), and talk about being of a piece with the depressed times — the movie tells the story of two expectant thirtysomethings trying to establish some sense of rootedness as they get ready to bring a kid into the world despite being gripped by ennui and panic at all the examples of stability, interpersonal and otherwise, around them. I'm sure bittersweet and quiet, to-scale uplift are the target, but there's palpable pain here, and it seems like a match with the current zeitgeist. The trailer feels like the filmic equivalent of Bedlam's "Harvest Moon," something "true" and unfussy and muted, like Garden State and All the Real Girls, or like Junebug and The Great New Wonderful wanted to be.
