MADDIE'S SECRET is comedian, writer, and actor John Early's critically acclaimed directorial debut starring himself as Maddie, a plucky dishwasher who leaps to viral superstardom at a trendy food content creation company. While her life seems picturesque -- complete with an adoring husband (Eric Rahill), ride-or-die best friend (Kate Berlant) and a cupboard full of woman-owned ethically-sourced chili crisp to boot -- mounting professional pressures threaten to reawaken a hidden secret from her troubled past. A pitch-perfect blend of satire, melodrama, daring tonal shifts and intimate performances, the film marks a bold new voice in contemporary cinema.
"Refreshingly gracious, Early’s management of humanity in ‘Maddie’s Secret’ is the heart of this film." - RogerEbert.com
"It is an extremely accomplished debut and one of the boldest American movies I have seen in years." IndieWire
"Brimming with style and spirit up to the final scene, “Maddie’s Secret” is among the most daring movies I’ve seen this year. That it simultaneously guarantees a giddy good time is a minor miracle." - New York Times
