Key quotes
· 3 pulledFor a certain subset of country music fans — well, really, any kind of music fans — the name 'Elizabeth Cook' conjures up clever tunes, dazzling outfits, and an attitude that never quite fit with the general expectations around ol' Nashville.
All of that and more is played to the hilt in Katy Chevigny's (mostly true, but not totally) 'The Easy Kind,' which finds Cook playing herself (sort of) as she navigates the next stage of her life and career.
A hit on the festival circuit, the inventive, vérité-inspired feature is heading to theaters soon, and IndieWire has a look at its first trailer
