The film is about 31-year-old Molly, who begs her estranged mother, Deb, for help fighting a fierce battle against the demons that have derailed her life. Despite all she has learned over a decade of disappointment, grief and rage, Deb throws herself into one last attempt to save her beloved daughter from the deadly and merciless grip of heroin addiction.
Kunis stated in TheWrap that she lost a lot of weight as she weighed around 95 pounds. Here is her statement about her weight lost:
“I don’t know [how much weight I lost] because I don’t have a weight scale but I can tell you, based on my clothing, I was as thin as I was for ‘Black Swan,” Kunis told TheWrap’s Beatrice Verhoeven. “I was healthy in regards to the way I did it but as far as a lifestyle choice, I was like, ‘Oh this is rough.’ But it only had to be for a minute. You have to unfortunately look a certain way to look like a heroin addict, so I think I did it over four months. I exercised and dieted. I felt very strong… but I was thin.”
Here is a statement from Rich Goldberg, co-president of Vertical Entertainment:
“We are excited to share the impactful message and impeccable performances by Mila Kunis and Glenn Close in ‘Four Good Days’ with audiences this spring. The conversation around addiction can be complex and difficult for family members to have and we strongly feel that audiences, and most importantly families, will empathize with these characters and possibly even open up the discussion about drug abuse with one another.”
Here is a statement for the director Rodrigo Garcia:
“When I first read Eli’s article I was struck right away by the emotional power of the story, and by how beautifully it captured the complicated and unbreakable bond of a mother and daughter. It’s been a great journey working with Glenn so many times, and I always marvel at her artistry, intelligence and sensibility. I never stop learning from her. And I’ve always found Mila to be an excellent actress of subtlety and complexity. Two great artists bringing us closer to what it’s really like to be in a situation that is tragically common in American families.”
Here is a statement from one of the producer, Jon Avnet:
“‘Four Good Days’ reunites Rodrigo and Glenn and brings in Mila Kunis, who I had the pleasure of working with as an executive producer on ‘Black Swan.’ Once again, Rodrigo creates a spell which binds these two in a messy but unforgettable relationship."
The film will be released in theatres April 30th and on demand on May 21st.
