The Great New Wonderful

The Great New Wonderful weaves five stories against the backdrop of an anxious and uncertain post-9-11 New York City, exploring themes of frustration, sugar, and the struggles of everyday life through vignettes featuring Jim Gaffigan as a therapy session, Maggie Gyllenhaal preparing for a professional pitch, Olympia Dukakis as Judy Hillerman fixing dinner, Naseeruddin Shah and Sharat Saxena on security detail, Allison Burbage (Judy Greer) struggling to cope with her 10-year-old son, and Emme Keeler (Maggie Gyllenhaal), alongside Tom McCarthy's Davie Burbage.
