    Official Poster


    Official Poster Okay women, brace yourselves! This is the killer movie of all to confirm that, yes! sometimes a woman's preoccupations with her own emotions may unknowingly override her ability to consider things rationally. But hang on, now for the blokes! You should all brace yourselves too as you venture into this film and walk out with a whole new appreciation and perspective of just how resilient the female species can be. So as we can all see, ladies and gentlemen, The Upside of Anger is a film for all; an absolute must see for anyone of any age, place or gender.

    This is a cleverly scripted film that engages the viewer on a number of levels as, layer upon layer, the tale unfolds. Anyone who has ever lived in, or even entered, a household containing five women understand the blend of daily dramas and family dynamics that one is sure to witness, and the Wolfmeyer residence is by no means an exception.

    Joan Allen- The Upside of

     Anger Premiere Joan Allen truly steals the spotlight with her sensational portrayal of the quick witted Terry Wolfmeyer; a suburban mother of four who turns to liquor to console her heartbreak over the disappearance of her husband, Grey Wolfmeyer. Why had the police not been phoned when he failed to return home? Simple, because in Terry’s mind, he is an inconsiderate, uncompassionate adulterer in the throws of a mid-life crisis … that is until we are exposed to an unexpected twist at the end of the film.

    While Grey’s presence is sorely missed in the Wolfmeyer’s household, Terry is left to tend to her own denial of her plummeting mental state and alcohol abuse, as well as caring for the four other young women in the house: her daughters Popeye, Emily, Andy and Hadley. Popeye (Evan Rachel Wood) is the youngest, and possibly also the strongest of the batch. It is her passion for words and film-making that acts as her anchor. Without such utensils she too may have been momentarily swept away with the current, just like her mother. Despite her strength, Popeye still has an element of naivety that comes along with the territory of being a confused teenager. Then we have Emily; the aspiring dancer who literally sends herself to sickness through over dancing, under eating and niggling stress, portrayed with supreme conviction by Keri Russell (minus the famous curls from her Felicity days!).
