Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells Star in ‘Miss You, Love You’ at Cannes Market

HBO’s Miss You, Love You Set for Cannes Market Debut

Earlier this week, it was announced that HBO has secured Miss You, Love You, a drama featuring Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells, for U.S. release. Today, new details reveal that the film will also be showcased at the Cannes market, with international sales being managed by Architect.

The film, which is both written and directed by Jim Rash, received a discreet screening at the Sundance Film Festival, attended by Julia Roberts. HBO plans to release the film as an Original on May 29 in the United States, while Architect is set to present it during the renowned film festival in the coming month.

Miss You, Love You revolves around Diane Patterson (Janney), a grieving widow navigating the challenging task of planning her husband’s funeral alongside a stranger, Jamie Simms (Rannells), who is the assistant to her estranged son. As the two contend with their grief and the darkly humorous situations they face, hidden secrets and long-standing grievances begin to emerge. Their unconventional partnership ultimately fosters a pathway for connection, laughter, and healing.

The film also features performances from Bonnie Hunt, Suzy Nakamura, Oscar Nuñez, and Lisa Schurga.

Produced by Kevin Walsh, Nat Faxon, Gigi Pritzker, and Rachel Shane for Madison Wells, Miss You, Love You has Michael Bowes as executive producer, Tammy Allen as co-producer, and Liz Lippman as an associate producer.

Architect Calum Gray remarked on Rash’s talent, stating, “Jim Rash is a sensational filmmaker who has been making us laugh, reflect, and cry for over a decade now. Miss You, Love You is an absolute tour de force of his creative prowess, and in Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells, he has found two truly magical actors who transmute this beautifully constructed script into utterly compelling viewing. Miss You, Love You is fundamentally a film about human connection; the maddening delight of it, the difficulty in establishing it, the release when it finally, meaningfully happens – modern audiences will find such richness, beauty, and laughter in this movie.”
