Galveston
Synopsis
Adapted by Nic Pizzolatto (creator of HBO’s True Detective) from his best-selling novel, Galveston is a gripping, atmospheric noir about survival and redemption.
Roy (Ben Foster), a debt collector and sometime killer, realises his ruthless boss has set him up for death. After a brutal showdown, Roy escapes, discovering young prostitute Rocky (Elle Fanning) hiding nearby. Drawn to her defiant spirit, he takes her with him on the run to Galveston - a reckless decision that deepens when she rescues her three-year-old sister from their abusive stepfather. Hiding out in Galveston’s seedy motels and dive bars, this fragile trio clings to hope amid betrayal and decay.
Directed by Mélanie Laurent, Galveston is a haunting elegy to lost souls, love, and the cost of redemption.
