As their marriage quietly unravels, Alex (Emmy Award® nominee Will Arnett) and Tess (Academy Award® winner Laura Dern) agree to separate. With Alex finding unlikely new purpose in standup comedy and ex-Olympic athlete Tess confronting the sacrifices she made for their family, they navigate co-parenting, identity, and whether their love can take a new form. The latest from Academy Award® nominee Bradley Cooper (MAESTRO, HIFF 2023), IS THIS THING ON? is a warm and charming look at middle-aged self-discovery and the bonds that help us make sense of life’s unexpected turns. A Searchlight Pictures release.
