On the Rocks
Short description
Laura is a young mother living in New York who begins to suspect that her husband, Dean, is having an affair. Uncertain about what is really going on in her marriage, she turns to her father, Felix, a wealthy and exuberant womanizer whose appetite for intrigue matches his taste for nightlife. Together the two set out to follow Dean and find out whether Laura's fears are justified, a pursuit that draws father and daughter closer while forcing Laura to weigh her suspicions against her family life.
Sofia Coppola directed the film and wrote the screenplay, with Youree Henley joining her as producer. It was made through American Zoetrope and sits between The Beguiled and Priscilla in Coppola's chronological filmography. Bill Murray plays Felix and Rashida Jones plays Laura, with Marlon Wayans as Dean, Jessica Henwick as Fiona, Jenny Slate as Vanessa and Liyanna Muscat as Maya. The production credits 38 cast members and 113 crew members, and the film runs 96 minutes.
Released in October 2020, the comedy-drama draws a film critics' rating of 7.3/10 from 286 reviews, noticeably higher than its audience scores: 6.4/10 on IMDb from around 40,000 votes and 6.1/10 on TMDB from 821 votes. The contrast suggests that reviewers responded to the film more warmly than general viewers did.
What's left behind the scenes
- The photograph of Bill Murray, as Felix, and Barack Obama playing mini-golf is genuine. It was taken at the White House when Bill Murray was presented with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
- When Sofia Coppola was developing the script for the 2003 drama 'Lost in Translation' with future actors, Rashida Jones played the role of Charlotte (in the film played by Scarlett Johansson). When casting for 'The Last Drop,' Coppola remembered Jones and cast her as Laura.
