Thanksgiving in a Manhattan apartment brings up some emotional stuff for the Blake family, as the trailer for The Humans hints.

Written and directed by Stephen Karam, The Humans is an adaptation of his own one-act play that won the 2016 Tony Award for best play and was a Pulitzer drama finalist.

The film version stars Steven Yeun, Amy Schumer, Beanie Feldstein, Richard Jenkins, and June Squibb, as well as Jayne Houdyshell who won a Tony for her performance in the play.

The film premiered at the the Toronto International Film Festival, and will be in cinemas soon, with dates TBC.
