Margaret Qualley

Maya, a smart, wry nurse, is swept up in an immersive love that sets her life on a trajectory she never would have imagined. At age 26, Maya (MARGARET QUALLEY) is a young nurse in Boston who is estranged from her single mother. She falls in love with Charlie (GABRIEL BASSO) after buying an antique drawer from him. Shortly after they begin dating, Maya introduces Charlie to Jason (PATRICK SCHWARTZENEGGER), her best friend since college. Jason is good-natured, but flaky and irresponsible, and frequently spends time with the couple. A year into their relationship, Charlie introduces Maya to his family on Cape Cod, and she quickly befriends his mother Ruth (CATHERINE KEENER). During a monsoon on Charlie's 30th birthday, the couple marry in a small ceremony at their home. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Maya becomes overworked and exhausted due to long hours and hospital shortages. Charlie remains supportive of her, but soon contracts COVID himself. At a high risk due to his asthma, he slowly succumbs to the virus and gets sent to the hospital; Maya, unable to get into the building, can only console him through FaceTime as he dies. After Charlie's death, Maya shuts herself in their home and withdraws from Ruth. Three years later, Maya is 31 and living alone in Lisbon, where she and Charlie had wanted to travel together. Supporting herself through a tele-health job, she has grown despondent due to Charlie's death and spends her nights drinking and having one-night stands. She meets Felix (AARON PIERRE), a charming British divorcé with a young daughter, at a restaurant she frequents and they spend the night together. Encouraged by her therapist to find a new hobby unrelated to Charlie, Maya goes to a dance class and befriends a woman named Beatriz (ISABEL RUTH), who implores her not to stay unhappy. She seeks out Felix again and begins a relationship with him, accompanying him to a seaside trip and then back to London. While out on a date, Maya unexpectedly encounters Jason, but rejects his attempts to reconcile. She and Felix decide to commit to a serious relationship and she moves in with him, eventually meeting his daughter Noelle (ALBA JACK). At Noelle's sixth birthday party, Maya becomes uncomfortable with his closeness towards his family. Feeling like an intruder into his life, she breaks up with him and flees to Tokyo for several months. At age 32, Maya returns to London and meets Felix again at a cafe, where he informs that he has gotten back together with his ex-wife. She and Felix part on amicable terms. At age 34, Maya now lives in Luxembourg. Travelling to New Orleans, she speaks at a public health conference and reconnects with Jason. She finds that he has matured significantly since she last saw him and they rekindle their friendship. Jason drops Maya off at the airport, but she changes her mind about going home and instead goes to the Cape, where she reconnects with Ruth. After reminiscing over her grief for Charlie and Maya's absence, Ruth tells her that she must love her life first and foremost. While in the car ride back to Boston, Maya breaks down into tears. Now back in Boston, Maya listens to an old cassette tape Charlie gave her as it fades into white noise. She takes her headphones off, looks over at the Longfellow Bridge, and smiles.

Now - The star you made in his first starring role.

Los Angeles, 1969. As the final chapter of Hollywood`s golden age draws to a close, fading TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) make their way around an industry they hardly recognize anymore. The ninth film from Quentin Tarantino features an ensemble cast and multiple storylines, and is a glowing tribute to the memories of a bygone era.

This is a story of the effect of Vatican II (1962-65) on the Catholic Church, as seen in one convent, through the eyes of the tough old-fashioned Mother Superior, the kinder, younger, and more modern nuns, and the Postulants and Novices, particularly Sister Cathleen. In 1954, seven-year-old Cathleen Harris (Eliza Manson) lives in rural in Tennessee with her mother, Nora (Julianne Nicholson), a factory worker, who is non-religious but wants to show Cathleen a church and let her make her own decision. Cathleen's father, Chuck (Chris Zylka), comes home late, drunk, and argues with his wife. Chuck eventually leaves. Nora supports herself and picks up a series of men for one-night stands. At age 12, Cathleen (Sasha Mason) seeks love of her own, and finds it in Catholicism when two nuns visit her home and offer her enrollment at a Catholic girls' school. The school offers her free tuition and a full scholarship to any college Cathleen chooses if her grades are excellent. At the school one day, a young nun befriends Cathleen and describes how she is married to Christ. At age 17 in the year 1964, after Cathleen (Margaret Qualley) comes home from school and runs into another one of her mother's pickups, Cathleen decides to leave home and give her life to God. With twenty other girls, Cathleen joins the Sisters of the Beloved Rose. She will be a postulate for six months in their convent, after which she will become a novice for a year and a half, and then make her final vows to become a nun. The Abbess, Reverend Mother Marie Saint-Clair (Melissa Leo), is tough, cold, traditional and largely responsible for training and disciplining the postulates. She leads the postulates through the weekly "chapter of faults," in which they must publicly confess to all their faults and face the accusation of the other postulates, for which Mother Superior assigns extreme, humiliating penances, including "The Discipline," a knotted whip that they use to flagellate themselves. Sister Mary Grace (Dianna Agron), a young, warm, kind, and progressive nun, is the Postulant Mistress, who tries to make life easier for them. Most of the day is heavily regimented, but sometimes the postulates fall into girlish activities and giggling. Cathleen tends to avoid interacting with the other girls and spends her free time alone and reading from the Bible. Mother Superior keeps getting envelopes from Archbishop McCarthy (Denis O'Hare) about Vatican II, which she ignores. Sister Mary Grace sees the documents, and says that change would be good. Mother Superior cuts her off with, "The Church is perfect exactly the way it is." Later, they argue, and Sister Mary Grace challenges Mother Superior's authority. Sister Mary Grace goes off to pray, and decides to leave the convent. After six months, Cathleen takes her Simple Vows and becomes a novice. As Reverend Mother grows increasingly harsh, 18-year-old Sister Cathleen undergoes a sexual awakening. Cathleen stirs one night after masturbating in her sleep. She stops eating and interacting with the other novices and nuns over her "impure thoughts". When her mother visits the convent to deliver news about her father Chuck's passing, she notices Cathleen's pale and emaciated appearance. Nora threatens the Reverend Mother over her daughter's treatment, but Reverend Mother bushes it off, saying that Nora no longer has a daughter but that Cathleen has now given her life to the Church. Cathleen eventually collapses during dinner one evening from starvation and dehydration, she is sent to the infirmary for several days where she confides in another young nun, Sister Emanuel (Rebecca Dayan). Later on, Cathleen sneaks out of the infirmary and into Sister Emanuel's room where Cathleen tells her that she longs for "comfort," leading to a kiss and their having lesbian sexual intercourse. After this, Cathleen leaves the infirmary and shows signs of recovery, is eating again and showing quiet happiness, but neither she or Sister Emanuel ever discuss their sexual encounter. Meanwhile, Archbishop McCarthy pays a visit to the convent. He tells Mother Superior that "this order in particular" is having difficulty embracing the changes of Vatican II. She dismisses the "ridiculous reforms." He tells her that if she can't adapt to the changes, she will be replaced. As for "that old medieval stuff," the extreme penances, "That's gotta stop." Mother Superior is devastated. She fears God has abandoned her. At a subsequent Chapter of Faults, a novice confesses that she questions God's existence. Mother Superior tells her she's tired of hearing of her spiritual wretchedness and assigns her no penance at all. When Cathleen goes next and confesses feeling the need to be emotionally comforted and about her one-time sexual encounter with another nun. Cathleen refuses to give away the nun's name and only asks for penance. Mother Superior forces Cathleen to crawl on her hands and knees and to beg for penance from each of the other novices, which finally brings Cathleen to tears. Mother Superior grants penance to Cathleen anyway. Afterwards, Sister Emanuel leaves the convent without saying goodbye to Cathleen. Eventually, Mother Superior calls the congregation and reads aloud the Archbishop's memo about Vatican II. Priests will say the Mass in English, and face the congregation. Catholics must embrace religious tolerance. Nuns are no longer required to wear habits and can wear whatever they wish as their status is now reduced and equal to any lay Catholic. Of the original twenty postulates, only five are left to profess their final vows to become solemnly professed nuns, among them is Cathleen. At their mass of Solemn Profession, the priest asks each of the novices, "What do you seek?" One answers that she wants to take her vows and marry Jesus Christ. The priest then asks Cathleen the same question. She answers, "I seek something more."
