In New York City in the 1990s, Joanna (Margaret Qualley) is a young aspiring writer who lands a day job at J.D. Salinger’s literary agency. While her eccentric, old-fashioned boss Margaret (Sigourney Weaver) assigns her to answer Salinger’s voluminous fan mail, Joanna struggles to find her own voice.

This charming coming of age drama features excellent performances by Qualley and Weaver and is a satisfying tale about literary aspirations and fleeting contact with the famously reclusive Salinger.
