Full Plot Details

Set in Manhattan in 1995, LANDLINE follows three women in one family having lots of sex, drugs, and Japanese food. Navigating monogamy, honesty, and a long-lost New York, the Jacobs family lives in the last days when people still didn't have cell phones and still did smoke inside. Teenage Ali discovers her dad's affair, her older sister Dana uncovers her own wild side, and their mother Pat grapples with the truth that she can't have it all, but her family still has each other. For a generation raised on divorce and wall-to-wall carpeting, LANDLINE is an honest comedy about what happens when sisters become friends and parents become humans.

Movie Reviews

The Film Stage - 9/10 by Jordan RaupLandline is a film about many things: sisterhood, infidelity, growing up, marriage, parenting, self-discovery, etc. That it manages to have illuminating insights about each, and none feeling like they are taking the backseat, is a feat unto itself.
Screen Zealots - 9/10 by Louisa MooreIn a crowded sea of male-dominated Hollywood films and paper-thin female characters, little independent gems like Landline generate even more of an electrifying spark.
Salon.com - 9/10 by Max CeaWith Landline, Robespierre once again proves herself to be one of the funnier filmmakers working. Just as important, she proves herself to be one of the more empathetic directors out there.
Blu-ray.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfThe screenplay excels when it focuses on wandering hearts and squeezed minds, with Robespierre right there to extract emotional authenticity in the middle of potentially clichéd situations.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Richard RoeperLandline is a very funny film about people dealing with very serious situations.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Alan ScherstuhlFew period pieces get our dynamic relationship with the now so right, or chart so smartly how the present shifts even under the feet of the youngish.
The Patriot Ledger - 8/10 by Al AlexanderThere's an affinity you form with the characters -- especially the budding camaraderie between Dana and Ali -- that enables the movie to involve and intrigue.
Cambridge Day - 8/10 by Allyson JohnsonThe rough edges of Landline are apparent, but it's a more than worthwhile picture and one that allows its protagonists to be simultaneously selfish but deserving of love.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 8/10 by Philip MartinRobespierre has produced a milder, more episodic movie that retains Obvious Child's commitment to the way real people talk and behave while lacking its dramatic and emotional thrust.
Globe and Mail - 8/10 by Brad WheelerDad’s suspected infidelity is the tension in a film that hammers its nineties setting so relentlessly it could be called Sex, Lies and Videotape (and Floppy Disks and Payphones).
