Girl From The North Country (2024)

Set in 1934 Minnesota during the Great Depression. An innkeeper (Jay O. Sanders) tries to keep his guesthouse afloat amidst financial ruin while dealing with his wife's (Mare Winningham in the show's best performance) ongoing dementia. A filmed production of the Tony nominated (7 nominations, 1 win) "jukebox" Broadway musical featuring the songs of Bob Dylan and directed by Conor McPherson. The use of Bob Dylan's songs are the highlight of this critically acclaimed musical although their connection to the slight narrative is often tenuous at best. The songs are beautifully orchestrated by Simon Hale (who won a Tony for his efforts) and sung by a talented cast but its multi character plotline seems there merely as something to hang the Dylan songs on. Dylan himself was pleased with the production. Worth checking out. With Robert Joy, Craig Bierko, Kimber Sprawl (the girl of the title), Austin Scott, Colton Ryan and Jeanette Bayardelle.
