"The surprise comeback began around September when an inexplicable bump in TikTok’s algorithm turbo-blasted the movie and its earworm original song, 'Watermelon.' Soon after, the film (DINNER IN AMERICA) was trending across Hulu, Letterboxd and Google." - Mariella Rudi, New York Times
An on-the-lam punk rocker and a young woman obsessed with his band go on an unexpected and epic journey together through the decaying suburbs of the American Midwest. Capturing the zeitgeist around radical self-acceptance and weirdo love, it's a feel-good romance with an edge!
