RLJE Films will release SOUTH OF HEAVEN in theaters and on VOD and Digital on Oct. 8, 2021.

(RLJE Films)

The new film “South of Heaven” is a bit of a slow burn narrative featuring the talents of Jason Sudeikis (“Ted Lasso,”Colossal”) and Evangeline Lilly (Ant-Man, Avengers: Endgame). Jason plays a former convict that is paroled. His only goal in life is to give his childhood love played by Evangeline the best year of her life (she has a finite period of time to live).

“South of Heaven” is an interesting film but it takes a long time to really build up the storyline. The acting is on point and the subplots throughout the film actually add to the narrative (which is a bit of rarity these days).


Overall, the film is a solid character study wrapped up in a drama.


Best,
