SUMMARY:Maddie's Secret
DESCRIPTION:Essential alt-comedian John Early stars as Maddie Ralph\, a plu
 cky dishwasher who leaps to viral superstardom at a trendy food content cre
 ation company\, in his striking\, auteur-announcing directorial debut\, MAD
 DIE’S SECRET.\n\nWhile Maddie’s life seems picturesque — complete wit
 h an adoring husband (Eric Rahill)\, ride-or-die (literally?) best friend (
 Kate Berlant) and a cupboard full of woman-owned ethically-sourced chili cr
 isp to boot — mounting professional pressures reawaken her long dormant s
 truggle with an eating disorder. Unwilling to shatter the illusion of herse
 lf as the ingénue\, Maddie unravels quietly\, in secret\, threatening her 
 relationships and even her life.\n\nRooted in homage to the old-school “m
 ovie of the week\,” Maddie's Secret quickly reveals itself to be somethin
 g totally fresh\, refreshingly sincere and tonally distinct from any run-of
 -the-mill genre parody with Early’s sure hand behind the camera.\n\nFeatu
 ring perfectly calibrated performances from Early\, Berlant\, Rahill\, Clau
 dia O’Doherty\, Vanessa Bayer\, Conner O’Malley\, and Kristen Johnston 
 (as Maddie’s wicked mother)\, plus an ‘80s-inspired score from frequent
  Early musical collaborator Michael Hesslein\, the film’s explosive comed
 ic energy slowly gives way to a deeply affecting and earnest story of recov
 ery\, growth and the courage to be one’s truest self.\n\nOFF THE CUFF is 
 a year-round series presented by the Calgary Underground Film Festival. For
  those films we just can't make work with our festival dates\, we go off th
 e CUFF.\n\nhttps://www.visitcalgary.com/events/maddies-secret\n\nhttps://ww
