Sumerian Pictures has released a trailer for Josephine, a psychological drama that premiered at Sundance. The footage presents a suspenseful narrative centered on a disturbing question: what does the film’s young protagonist witness in a San Francisco park? The story extends beyond this initial mystery to explore deeper themes about family and trauma.
The film stars Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan as parents navigating their daughter’s experience after she observes a crime in Golden Gate Park. Written and directed by Beth de Araújo, who also helmed Soft & Quiet, the project draws inspiration from the filmmaker’s personal background. The movie earned both the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, establishing itself as a major contender from the festival circuit.
Critics have praised Josephine as an emotionally intelligent family drama that balances difficult subject matter with nuanced storytelling. Rather than relying solely on sentimentality, the film presents thought-provoking sequences that challenge viewers. Industry observers have identified it as among the most anticipated releases emerging from this year’s Sundance lineup.
The ensemble cast also features Philip Ettinger, Syra McCarthy, Eleanore Pienta, and newcomer Mason Reeves in the title role. Josephine is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 20.
