Critically panned in Cannes. Shut out from North American premieres in Toronto and Telluride, it appeared as if Paolo Sorrentino's This Must Be the Place wouldn't find a festival tent let alone a distrib home in the U.S. but an unlikely candidate in the Weinstein Co. have grabbed the rights.

"the hilariously dark new film from William Friedkin. Reteaming with Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts after they collaborated on bringing Bug (2006) to the big screen, the pair’s latest offering plays like Lillian Hellman on acid."
