The Lost Holliday is a 2024 American drama film directed by Jussie Smollett. Even though Smollett and Jerrell Cheney are credited as the writers of this movie, this movie is highly influenced by 2010 Indian movie Memories in March, written and directed by Sanjoy Nag. From the plot to the treatment, the movie follows Memories in March so closely that The Lost Holiday can be considered as an unofficial remake of the former. [1] Smollett also recorded a soundtrack album for the movie. [2]
The film premiered at the 28th annual American Black Film Festival in June 2024. [3] [4] [5] It was released in selected theatres on September 27, 2024, by AMC Theatres. [6] [7] It will be released on Amazon Prime on May 9, 2025.
The film follows Cassandra Marshall (Vivica Fox), who travels to Los Angeles to plan the funeral of her estranged son, Damien (Jabari Redd). Upon her arrival, Cassandra discovers that the funeral arrangements are already being handled by her son's husband, Jason (Jussie Smollett).
