A24 definitely prides itself on bringing new cinematic voices to audiences, and they have another one in the 2024 new movie Janet Planet from Annie Baker. While this marks the first movie for Baker in her career, she is already an acclaimed writer, winning a Pulitzer Prize as a playwright. That may sound familiar to some, as in 2023 A24 released the debut movie from an acclaimed playwright, Celine Song's Past Lives.
Baker is telling a different kind of story though, as Janet Planet is a coming-of-age tale, led by Emmy-winner Julianne Nicholson. Like Past Lives, Janet Planet has received some strong buzz after some festival premieres, so there already is some excitement about it in the indie movie community.
