THE GREATEST HITS
Director: Ned Benson
Starring: Lucy Boynton, Justin H. Min, David Cornswet, Retta, Austin Crute
Music has the power to transport us to another time and another place. The new film The Greatest Hits takes a look at what could happen if music could take us back to saving someone’s life as a way to cope with grief. For Lucy Boynton’s character, Harriet, listening to vinyl records or her Spotify playlists takes her back to vivid memories with her boyfriend, Max (Corenswet). It’s been two years since his tragic death in a car accident. Harriet survived the crash, but has been wracked with guilt and grief since then. Her apartment walls have a timeline of the events, memories, and musical selections leading up to that moment. She attends a grief support group where she meets David (Min) who recently lost his parents. David also happens to have a love of music and vinyl, and it’s this connection that allows Harriet the chance to move on from Max’s passing. Streaming on Hulu
