The A24 film, set in rural Massachusetts in summer 1991, follows 11-year-old Lacy, who is enthralled by her own imagination and the
attention of her mother, Janet. As the months pass, three visitors enter
their orbit, all captivated by Janet and her spellbinding nature. In
her solitary moments, Lacy inhabits an inner world so detailed that it begins to seep into the outside world.
Baker's intimate drama The Flick, which premiered Off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons, was named the winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. She is also the author of John, Circle Mirror Transformation, Body Awareness, The Aliens, an adaptation of Uncle Vanya for Soho Rep, and more.
