Albany Road

A busy executive, played by Renée Elise Goldsberry, finds herself sharing a long road trip with a woman connected to her past, played by Lynn Whitfield. What begins as an inconvenience turns into a reckoning with grief, family and the plans we make for our lives.

Christine Swanson's film is a character piece driven by two strong performances. It belongs to a small but welcome tradition of road movies centred on Black women, where the journey is mostly about what they finally say to each other.
