Written and directed by Dustin Lance Black, Virginia stars Jennifer Connelly as a beautiful yet unhinged single mother who struggles to raise her son Emmett (Harrison Gilbertson) while dreaming of escaping her small Southern boardwalk town. Her long time affair with the very married, Mormon Sherriff Richard Tipton (Ed Harris) is thrown into question when he decides to run for public office. Things are further complicated when Emmett begins a romantic relationship with Tipton's daughter (Emma Roberts). Virginia and the town are full of secrets and everyone knows Virginia can only keep things together for so long. (Eagle Entertainment)
