The Supremes, Searchlight Pictures' latest production, will be available exclusively on Disney+ from August 23, 2024. Adapted from the best-selling novel The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat byEdward Kelsey Moore, the film is a comedy-drama that explores the unbreakable bonds of female friendship across several decades. Directed by Tina Mabry, the film stars Sanaa Lathan, Julian McMahon, and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.
The original book, beloved in the U.S., tells the story of three women, nicknamed "The Supremes", who navigate through life's ups and downs while maintaining their strong, unshakable friendship. With a script co-written by Tina Mabry and Gina Prince-Bythewood, Les Suprêmes promises to deliver an emotionally rich, humorous and truth-filled story celebrating resilience and female solidarity.
The Supremes follows the story of Odette, Clarice, and Barbara Jean, three inseparable best friends living in a small Indiana town. Their friendship began in the 1960s, a time of significant social change, and has blossomed over the decades despite the many challenges they've faced.
The film navigates through their lives, exploring moments of joy, sorrow, triumph and loss, while showing how their friendship enables them to overcome hardship. The "Supremes" meet regularly at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat, the local café that has become their refuge and witness to their most intimate confessions. Through their interactions and memories, Les Suprêmes paints a vibrant portrait of a friendship that defies time and obstacles.
Les Suprêmes appeals to a wide audience, from fans of touching human dramas to fans of character-driven stories. This film will particularly appeal to viewers who appreciate stories centered on friendship, family, and feminine strength. With its universal themes of love, resilience and hope, the film is likely to appeal to all generations.
The originality of Les Suprêmes should lie in its ability to weave personal and poignant narratives with a dose of humor and humanity. It recalls films such as Les Divins Secrets and Steel Magnolias, which celebrate female complicity and the collective strength of women. Featuring complex, authentic characters, Les Suprêmes offers a nuanced depiction of life and relationships that is sure to resonate with audiences.
With Les Suprêmes, Disney+ enriches its catalog of inspiring and moving films, exploring the depth of human relationships and the strength of female friendship. Directed by Tina Mabry, the film is an ode to love and camaraderie, celebrating life's small victories and big struggles. Available from August 23, 2024, Les Suprêmes is an invitation to immerse yourself in a story that will touch the hearts of all those who believe in the power of friendship.
