Brittany Runs a Marathon

"Bell draws laughter and tears out of her character's indignities but also invests us greatly in her desire to change her own life." - Globe & Mail

"Written and directed by first-timer Paul Downs Colaizzo and starring Jillian Bell in a performance that defines breakout, 'Brittany' not only goes places you won’t be expecting but it also manages to be simultaneously sympathetic and unsentimental, a picture with a laugh-out-loud sense of humor that can be as real as hell when it needs to be.
