Another Steven Soderbergh experience.

Bubble is the first of six films Steven Soderbergh is directing for HDNet Films that will be shot in high-definition. Dendy is proud to announce its association with HDNet and Steven Soderbergh on all six films.

In this unique cinematic experiment an unlikely love triangle is born at a doll factory in a small Midwestern town fallen on hard times. Lonely and isolated, long time employees Martha (Debbie Doebereiner) and Kyle (Dustin James Ashley) have become friends by default in spite of their drastic age difference, but their dynamic is upset by the arrival of a new worker: young, attractive single mother Rose (Misty Dawn Wilkins). As Martha grows increasingly wary about Rose's dubious character, she discovers Kyle and Rose developing a relationship of their own.

A murder is committed, an investigation begins, one that will call into question our established assumptions about these characters and life in their small town.

Featuring a cast of non-professional actors from the Ohio location, Soderbergh brings this tragic story of characters striving to establish and maintain meaningful connections to life with startling realism.

Theatrical report

I saw hillbillies. I saw white trash. I saw trailer parks. I saw manual labourers. I saw unmarried mothers. I saw stalkers. I saw fast food. I saw wood veneer panelling. And this isn't even a horror movie.
