The breath-taking, generation-defining Broadway phenomenon becomes a soaring cinematic event as Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner Ben Platt reprises his role as an anxious, isolated high schooler aching for understanding and belonging amid the chaos and cruelty of the social-media age.

Meryl Streep stars in this comedy drama directed by Jonathan Demme. When Ricki (Streep) made the decision to pursue her dream of becoming a rock star, she left behind her husband Pete (Kevin Kline) and their two children, Julie and Joshua (Mamie Gummer and Sebastian Stan). Years later, Ricki receives a phone call from Pete informing her that Julie is getting a divorce, and he asks her to return home to help her through the difficult time. As Ricki attempts to make up for lost time with her family, she learns that life has moved on without her and has to come to terms with the fact that her children no longer need her.
