"The filmmaker behind Blue Valentine, A Place Beyond the Pines, and The Light Between Oceans is known for leaving moviegoers wracked with heartache. He did it again with I Know This Much Is True, his 2020 HBO show starring Mark Ruffalo as desperately troubled twin brothers, and once more with his Oscar-nominated work on the screenplay for Sound of Metal, which starred Riz Ahmed as a drummer losing his hearing. Cianfrance knows he knows how to make you cry."
"The movie (out October 10) stars Channing Tatum in the true story of Jeffrey Manchester, a serial thief who earned his nickname from burrowing into the tops of fast-food joints after hours and making off with their cash. He was caught by police and went to prison, then enhanced his legend by staging a jailbreak. While on the run, he stayed out of sight for months by living inside the false ceilings and back passageways of a big-box retail store."
Derek Cianfrance, known for emotionally wrenching films, shifted tone to comedic-leaning Roofman. The film stars Channing Tatum as Jeffrey Manchester, a serial thief who burrowed into the tops of fast-food restaurants, stole cash, was imprisoned, staged a jailbreak, and then hid for months inside false ceilings and back passageways of a big-box retail store. The story frames Manchester as charismatic despite crimes, showing his involvement with a local church and a romance with a single mother. A toy-store manager caught him during a furtive sponge bath, triggering a bubble-covered naked scramble. Cianfrance blends humor with his recurring focus on crushing responsibility and emotional stakes.
