ROOFMAN

USA | 2025 | COLOR | DCP | 126’ | ENGLISH

The almost unbelievable but completely true story of a former soldier who, in the late 1990s, robbed dozens of McDonald's restaurants across America, ended up in prison, escaped, then found refuge in a toy store, where he met the love of his life, a single mother of two children, despite the fact that he remained constantly invisible to the police. Openly embracing the romantic comedy genre in his most mainstream effort to date, Derek Cianfrance (“Blue Valentine”) creates a bittersweet and disarming film based on real events, that perfectly balances authentic independent American cinema with familiar Hollywood conventions, and is elevated by the exceptional chemistry between its two leads, Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst. Th.K.
