SUZE

When her only daughter goes off to university, an empty nest mother gets stuck taking care of her daughter's heart-broken ex-boyfriend, who she can't stand.

Charlie Gillespie is a revelation in Linsey Stewart and Dane Clark’s warm empty-nester dramedy, which shares the spirit of a great Nicole Holofcener indie.

Suze is bittersweet, funny and sometimes sad but always heartfelt and honest, everything we hope for from an indie.
— Nell Minnow / The Movie Mom
What makes this film a rare gem, and worthy of Watkins’s talents, is that it’s consistently funny, doesn’t reduce its leads to stereotypes or tropes and casts Suze as a woman we would actually want to hang out with rather than pity for going through a tough life stage.

The directing and screenwriting team of Dane Clark and Linsey Stewart created a perfect vehicle for stage and screen actress and improv comic Michaela Watkins... as touching as it is genuinely funny.
