Late Night

A legendary late-night talk show host’s world is turned upside down when she hires her only female staff writer. Originally intended to smooth over diversity concerns, her decision has unexpectedly hilarious consequences as the two women separated by culture and generation are united by their love of a biting punchline.

“Thompson brings pathos and amusingly severe charm to the pantsuit-clad Katherine. Smartly written by Kaling and snappily directed by Nisha Ganatra…it delivers a winsome, sophisticated comedy about the times in which we live.” (Sundance)

“a comic tour-de-force for stars Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson, and a biting look at the art of making great TV.” (Montclair Film Fest)

“that rare thing: a deft and intelligent entertainment that can touch on serious issues because being funny is something it never forgets to do” (LA Times)
