Fourth of July is a 2022 American comedy drama film directed and produced by Louis C.K., who co-wrote the screenplay with Joe List.
The film stars List as Jeff, a New York City-based jazz pianist and recovering alcoholic who visits his family in rural Maine for Independence Day, and confronts them about the emotional traumas he experienced with them starting when he was a child.
Though some cities continued to show the film due to positive audience response, 4th of July never saw a wide release in theaters.
[7] Owen Gleiberman of Variety called Fourth of July "a millennial indie trifle".
[10] Several reviewers unfavorably compared the film to Tracy Letts's 2007 play August: Osage County, which is similarly about an extended rural family forced to confront its dysfunctions.
