Danielle Brooks and her co-star J. Alphonse Nicholson joined their director Walter Thompson-Hernandez at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of If I Go Will They Miss Me.

Did we forget to mention that looks were served? Because looks were served.

If you can’t break out a gown-length leather dress at Sundance, when else are you going to wear it? Cannes? Venice? She came correct. Mostly. Clearly, the bust isn’t fitting at all and there’s no real way to correct for that. If we’d been on her style team, we’d have suggested ditching the gloves and getting her in, say, a fuzzy white shrug or cropped cardi; something to provide her with coverage that plays well with all that leather. As always, hair and makeup look gorgeous.

Well now that’s just perfect. What a gorgeous coat.
ABOUT THE MOVIE:
IF I GO WILL THEY MISS ME
Twelve-year-old Lil Ant struggles to connect with his father when he begins to see surreal, almost spectral visions of boys drifting around his neighborhood. Their presence reveals a link between father and son, laying bare the threads that bind family, legacy, and place.
Set in the working-class Watts neighborhood in South Los Angeles, writer-director Walter Thompson-Hernández’s moving family drama focuses on a fraught father-son relationship. Big Ant is just out of prison and struggling to reconnect with his wife, Lozita (Danielle Brooks), and adolescent son, Lil Ant, a sensitive artist yearning for a role model. Adapted from his acclaimed short (2022 Sundance Film Festival, Short Film Jury Award: U.S. Fiction), Thompson-Hernández audaciously combines social and magical realism, charting the emotional trajectory of a conflicted dad and his restless son. Dense with allusions to Greek mythology, but grounded in documentary detail, the film has its head in the clouds without losing sight of the street-level conditions that shape its characters’ lives. If I Go Will They Miss Me is a loving, lyrical portrait of life under the LAX flight path. — MC Sundance Film Festival)
