Written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg (A Real Pain), The Debut sees Julianne Moore play Mona, a housewife who finds herself cast in a minor role in a community theatre production. As Mona plunges herself into the role in the manner of a method actor, she clashes with the show's director (Paul Giamatti).
The film also stars Eisenberg along with Halle Bailey, Cara Buono, Craig Bierko, Eldar Isgandarov and Bernadette Peters.
The Debut is in UK/ROI cinemas from January 15th.

The official synopsis reads:
When Mona Friedman is cast in a bit part at a small community theater, she transforms from a shy, unassuming housewife into a zealous method actor willing to do anything to protect the artistic integrity of her marginal role—even if it means waging war against the show’s domineering director.
