Lullaby (2014): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2014, Lullaby is a drama film directed by Andrew Levitas, running about 117 minutes. “What do you say when everything has been left unsaid?” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Estranged from his family, Jonathan (Hedlund) discovers his father has decided to take himself off life support in forty-eight hours’ time. During this intensely condensed period, a lifetime of drama plays out. Robert (Jenkins) fights a zero sum game to reclaim all that his illness stole from his family. A debate rages on patients’ rights and what it truly means to be free. Jonathan reconciles with his father, reconnects with his mother (Archer), sister (Brown-Findlay), and his love (Adams) and reclaims his voice through two unlikely catalysts – a young, wise-beyond-her-years patient (Barden) and a no-nonsense nurse (Hudson). Through this intensely life affirming prism, an unexpected and powerful journey of love, laughter, and forgiveness unfolds.

Who’s in it. Lullaby stars Garrett Hedlund as Jonathan, Richard Jenkins as Robert, Jessica Brown Findlay as Karen and Anne Archer as Rachel, among others.
