The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Boundaries,” starring Christopher Plummer. It will be screened this Saturday and Tuesday, Aug. 14, at 7:30 p.m.

Laura (Vera Farmiga) is a single mom living in Seattle, who has a constant need to put others and animals before herself. The more she tries to set boundaries in her life, the faster those lines are crossed. When her estranged, criminally-minded father Jack (Plummer) is kicked out of his retirement home — for unspecified misdeeds — Laura agrees to drive him down the coast to live with her sister in LA. Along for the ride is her son Henry, and an assortment of animal charity cases. Jack convinces Henry to help him sell off his copious supply of marijuana at every stop of their journey, resulting in unexpected reunions with old friends and family.

Owen Gleiberman, in Variety, calls the film “a touching yet wised-up father-daughter road movie that’s the best version of this sort of film you could imagine.” Tiffany Tchobanian, in Film Threat, calls it “a narrative that enables these brilliant actors to shine and lures viewers in on their wild ride full of mayhem, shady pot-dealings, and inspiring moments of self-discovery.”

Peter Hammond, in Hollywood Daily, calls it “the perfect family comedy.” Susan Wlosczyna, on RogerEbert.com, says “being in the presence of Plummer these days is always time well spent.” Rated R for drug material, language, some sexual references and nude sketches, “Boundaries” runs one hour, 44 minutes.
