“Plainclothes” is an independent romantic thriller drama film directed by Carmen Emmi and starring Russell Tovey, Tom Blyth, Maria Dizzia, Christian Cooke, Gabe Fazio, Amy Forsyth, and John Bedford Lloyd. It premiered earlier this year at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its performances, ’90s aesthetic, and direction from Emmi. It went on to win the Special Jury Award for Ensemble Cast. Emmi, Tovey, and Blyth were all kind enough to spend time speaking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to or watch below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in theaters from Magnolia Pictures on September 19th. Thank you, and enjoy!
