The Easy Kind

The Nashville establishment tried to position singer-songwriter Elizabeth Cook as the latest sweet young thing, but quickly cast her aside when she refused to fit neatly into a marketable box. In this genre-bending narrative debut from acclaimed documentarian Chevigny, Cook plays a fictionalized version of herself, navigating the personal and professional complexities of midlife. Walking away from money troubles, ex-lovers and family tragedies, this vulnerable, soulful and irrefutably ballsy artist forges a path to make music on her own terms.
