After years of anticipation, Richard Linklater’s Merrily We Roll Along finally takes center stage — and it’s every bit as ambitious as promised. Shot over two decades, the film captures the evolving relationships of three friends navigating fame, failure, and the passage of time. With Jonathan Groff, Ben Platt, and Beanie Feldstein leading the cast, the trailer offers a poignant glimpse into a story that unfolds backwards — from the end of a friendship to its bright, hopeful beginnings.
Visually lush and emotionally layered, the adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s musical blends nostalgia with realism, exploring how ambition shapes — and sometimes shatters — connection. It’s a cinematic experiment that’s as bold as it is heartfelt, reminding us that the most powerful stories are often those we already lived, just not in the order we expected.
