Short description
New York City writer Iris finds her comfortable, solitary life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor bequeaths her a Great Dane named Apollo. The huge dog immediately creates practical problems for Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more existential ones. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding with Apollo, she begins to come to terms with her past, and her own creative inner life.
What's left behind the scenes
- When Iris (played by Naomi Watts) goes to see publisher Walter (played by Bill Murray), several books by Sigrid Nunez, the film's screenwriter, are spread out on his table.
- Screenwriter Sigrid Nunez was offered a cameo role at the very beginning of the film, but she declined the offer.
