Watch List
Starring Kristen Stewart in a breakout role with riveting performances from James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo, WELCOME TO THE RILEYS is the gripping story of three people whose lives are transformed when they accidentally intersect in a film of gentle humor and heartbreaking emotion. Eight years after the tragic death of their teenage daughter, Doug Riley (JAMES GANDOLFINI) and Lois (MELISSA LEO) are sleepwalking through life. Lois has withdrawn from the world and imprisoned herself in their suburban home. Doug seeks solace in an affair with a local waitress. But when his mistress suddenly dies Doug is overwhelmed by loss - both past and present. He escapes to New Orleans for a business convention. Too vulnerable to enjoy the company of his fellow businessman, Doug evades them by ducking into a strip joint where he encounters Mallory (KRISTEN STEWART), a sixteen-year-old runaway struggling to survive. The importance of human connection - and the damage done by its absence - is powerfully and exquisitely explored in this story of three people who can't find themselves until they truly connect with each other.
