    Coming of age in the 1990’s is something very familiar to director Gillian Robespierre – she did so herself. Having previously worked with actress Jenny Slate in her film “Obvious Child, director Robespierre joins forces again with Slate who plays young woman in New York discovering life and family dynamics alongside her little sister in Landline. Robespierre shares the importance of music in this film as well as casting Edie Falco and John Turturro in their first on-screen performance.
