IFC Films presents a film written and directed by Philippe Falardeau, based on the book by Joanna Rakoff. Rated R (for language and some sexual references). Running time: 101 minutes. Opens Friday at Landmark Century Centre and on demand.
Maya Hawke (daughter of Ethan and Uma).
Margaret Qualley (daughter of Andie MacDowell and former model Paul Qualley).
Each of these second-generation actors has demonstrated impressive chops, with Qualley arguably the deepest talent, as evidenced by her fine performances in the HBO series “The Leftovers” and the FX miniseries “Fosse/Verdon,” and her scene-swiping work opposite Brad Pitt in “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood.” In the borderline trifling but consistently amusing and wry period piece “My Salinger Year,” Qualley has the opportunity to carry the story, and she delivers an effortlessly endearing performance in a literary adventure that plays like “The Devil Wears Prada” meets “Can You Ever Forgive Me,” only at lower stakes.
