A first trailer for Karen Gillan's new coming-of-age comedy Late Bloomers has been released.
Premiered at SXSW in March 2023, the movie from director Lisa Steen sees Gillan as protagonist Louise, an aimless musician in her late 20s who's recently single and breaks her hip during a drunken night out.
She receives physical therapy for her injury and associates with elderly patients, striking an unlikely friendship with her roommate at the hospital, Antonina (Margaret Sophie Stein), a Polish lady who speaks no English.
