In the sharp and soulful dramedy "Queens of Country," Lizzy Caplan stars as Jolene, a disillusioned former child country music star who now lives a quiet, mundane life far from the spotlight. When she receives word that her estranged, legendary father has passed away, she is forced to return to her small hometown in Tennessee to settle his affairs. There, she reconnects with her quirky, overbearing mother (played by O-Lan Jones) and a motley crew of old acquaintances, including a persistent ex-boyfriend (portrayed by Ron Livingston) and a local eccentric (played by Joe Lo Truglio). As Jolene grapples with her complicated family history and the weight of unfulfilled dreams, she stumbles upon a surprising inheritance that forces her to confront her past and reconsider her future. Navigating themes of legacy, redemption, and the bittersweet pull of home, the film blends heartfelt drama with dry comedic moments, anchored by a nuanced performance from Caplan. With a supporting cast that includes Matt Walsh and musician Maynard James Keenan, this offbeat journey explores whether you can ever truly escape your roots or if the music of your past will always call you back.
