Viola Davis is an established performer with a long list of commanding characters among her many credits, including Annalise Keating in the hit small screen legal thriller How To Get Away With Murder, which last year wrapped its sixth and final season.

Smartly scripted by Andy Siara and directed with aplomb by Max Barbakow, Palm Springs serves up a finely balanced mixture of loose-limbed ribaldry, armchair philosophizing, and emotionally resonant melancholy, and was acquired for distribution by Hulu out of the Sundance Film Festival in 2020, in what was a record-setting deal at the time.
