The description of the film on SXSW's website is as follows:
"In this wildly unpredictable thriller, Nicole Kidman is the meticulous Nancy Vandergroot, a teacher and homemaker whose picture-perfect life with her community pillar husband and son in tulip-filled Holland, Michigan tumbles into a twisted tale.

Fans share what they're excited for
What they're saying:
"Nicole Kidman. I want to see the celebs, I want to see them in their environment. I'm so excited," Carmen Johnson said. "I love a celebrity, I'll be honest, and that's okay. I feel like she's just done so much, especially in recent years. I'm just excited to witness her greatness."
"Nicole Kidman, she's great and everything, so let's see what Holland is about," Cameron Courtney said.
"Holland and Drop. It's going to be so good to see them there and be able to scream for them and show them my support from afar," Diana Mireles said.
Even though many fans had to watch from a distance, that didn't take away from the fun of seeing the stars and everything SXSW has to offer.
"I love the environment, I love the chaos, I love being able to see a celebrity walking by being normal," Mireles said.
"Just walking around, you can run into anything," Johnson said.
