Obscured Releasing has acquired Ugly Cry for U.S. distribution.

“Ugly Cry contemplates the horror of having a body in the age of the internet. What’s scarier, cringier, and funnier than modern society?” said Robinson. “Our collaboration with Obscured began at SXSW, which made it clear no one understands our genre-bendy feature better than they do. We’re thrilled to be partnering with them for our North American release.”

“Emily Robinson’s feature debut represents the discovery of a true talent in filmmaking,” said Obscured Releasing. “Her writing is so acute, her performance as Delaney finds all the nuances within the character, and her masterful direction of an incredible cast reminds us of the early thrillers of Hitchcock with an acerbic modern lens.”

Emily Robinson (Eighth Grade) wrote and directed the film, which is her feature directorial debut. Robinson also stars alongside Ryan Simpkins, Aaron Dominguez and Robin Tunney.

Ugly Cry is expected to be released in theaters this Fall and later on Digital.

Deadline first reported on the acquisition.
