Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You
Director: Roberto Faenza, Writers: Roberto Faenza, Dahlia Heyman
Based on the best selling novel by Peter Cameron
Click Here to view the Music Video
A funny, tender, and brilliant film about James Sveck (Toby Regbo), a vulnerable teenager with a deep appreciation for the world and no idea how to live in it. James is the child of divorced parents living in Manhattan (Marcia Gay Harden and Peter Gallagher). While his estranged parents and self-absorbed sister (Deborah Ann Woll) would be better served examining their own lives, they seem more content conspiring to guide him in a more "normal" direction.
James' mother prematurely returns from her honeymoon with compulsive gambler (Stephen Lang), signaling what appears to be her third failed marriage. James' successful lawyer father displays deep-seated insecurities by dating women half his age. On the other hand, James’ sister, Gillian, dates men twice her age in an attempt to stand out amongst an already motley cast of characters.
Unable to relate to his immediate family, James can only confide in others outside of them: in his enigmatic and benevolent grandmother, Nanette (Ellen Burstyn); his athletic and idiosyncratic life coach, Rowena (Lucy Liu); and in John (Gilbert Owuor), the well-groomed and articulate director of his mother’s art gallery. Months before college starts and with all these forces pulling him in divergent directions, this one summer is set to change the course of James’ life forever.
