It screens as part of OFF THE CUFF at the Globe Cinema Monday November 9th at 7 PM. Emily is a SAG Award-nominated, Special Drama Desk Award-winning actor known for her work in EIGHTH GRADE, THE YEAR BETWEEN, PRIVATE LIFE, THE EDGE OF EVERYTHING, and TRANSPARENT. UGLY CRY premiered at SXSW 2026. Her debut novel, CONSUMED, was published in 2023.\nAn actor loses their dream role because of their \"ugly cry\" — causing them to spiral down the dark and dangerous path to perfection. When Delaney's (writer-director Emily Robinson) boyfriend leaves town to shoot a splashy zombie movie, she becomes obsessed with a character she's auditioning for after she learns the producers think she has an \"ugly cry.\" But when she tries to make her cry prettier, her performance suffers. Can she contort herself, and her face, to have the perfect cry?\nHer attempts to change herself cause Young Delaney to haunt her, catapulting present-day Delaney deeper down the rabbit hole. She isolates herself and grows increasingly delusional, and interested in physical fixes to her acting problem. How can she make the world see her as she sees herself? How can she become and become and become? She will become famous. Or die trying.\nOFFICIAL FESTIVAL SELECTIONs\nSXSW 2026\nOverlook Film Festival 2026\nVancouver International Film Festival 2026\nTIX & INFO: https://www.calgaryundergroundfilm.org/year-round/off-the-cuff-ugly-cry/\nWEBSITE: https://uglycrymovie.com/\nINSTAGRAM: @uglycrymovie\n@emilyrobinson\n@obscuredrelaeasing","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/z1ojls--J_lPvUtFgI7by_n74sI_1GQMUnuQl9k9xKA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80ZmMz/MjlkMDU4YjllZTI2/ZDFiZmQ0MWU1OGE4/ZDRhMS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
