Film Overview

Voice-of-a-generation comedian Margaret Cho astonishes in this dramedy about Emma, who’s at a crossroads in her life after the recent loss of her dog Tanner, the reemergence of her ex-husband (Sons of Anarchy’s Kenneth Choi), and her daughter’s impending move to Australia. Directed by Film Independent Spirit Award nominee Yen Tan (“Pit Stop,” “1985”).Faced with an empty nest following the death of the family dog, Emma Gwon (Margaret Cho) is compelled to forge deeper connections with the people around her. Despite good intentions, her midlife awakening takes its toll on everyone in her path. This includes her estranged ex-husband Andy (Kenneth Choi), who has returned from Singapore after his career implodes and he’s forced to moved in with his sister Raven (Atsuko Okatsuka); their free-spirited daughter Maggie (Alice Lee), who’s relocating to Australia with her boyfriend (Devon Bostick) without Emma’s approval; her best friend Stan (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), who’s also experienced a loss and is expressing his grief through a lifestyle makeover; and her work colleague Kayla (Missi Pyle), who fosters animals and may just have a four-legged friend to soothe Emma’s woes. All That We Love is a heartfelt and poignant depiction of grief and what it means to start anew. Through richly drawn characters, the film gently blends sorrow with insightful humor in its exploration of themes that are universal to all of us: aging, friendship, parenthood, mortality, past loves, second chances, and the profound connection with our pets.GUEST(S) ARE SCHEDULED TO BE IN ATTENDANCE FOR Q&A
