Cameron Edwin (Jim Gaffigan), the host of a failing children's science TV show called "Above & Beyond", has always had aspirations of being an astronaut. After a mysterious space-race era satellite coincidentally falls from space and lands in his backyard, his midlife crisis manifests in a plan to rebuild the machine into his dream rocket. As his relationship with his wife (Rhea Seehorn) and daughter (Katelyn Nacon) start to strain, surreal events begin unfolding around him -- a doppelgänger moving into the house next door, a car falling from the sky, and an unusual teenage boy forging a friendship with him. He slowly starts to piece these events together to ultimately reveal that there's more to his life story than he once thought.

Critics Consensus

A solid showcase for Jim Gaffigan as well as a sneakily ambitious dramedy, Linoleum adds another impressive entry to writer-director Colin West's filmography.

It’s a moving film about time, ambition, aging, wormholes, and the all-consuming power of love. And the film’s quaint, handmade qualities help make the tears it remorselessly jerks out of you feel like honest ones.

3.5/4

The first-rate production design, the music by Mark Headley and the cinematography by Ed Wu all contribute to the feeling of a surrealist adventure that toggles between satirical comedy and something darker and much heavier.

Gaffigan... is a constantly strong centre in the two roles.

3.5/5

The unconventional screenplay examines repressed dreams, family issues and brain clogging with some caricatural undertones and a layered surrealism that serves well its narrative purpose.

77/100

This quasi-sci-fi indie plays its surreal events to deeply poignant effect... This is the kind of movie you’ll immediately want to rewind to absorb the full weight of.

8.5/10

The ending for me is an absolute pay-off, which, of course, I will not give away. Jim Gaffigan, Rhea Seehorn, and Tony Shalhoub are some of these great actors that you really love seeing play, and play-off each other... I call it [the movie] a hidden gem.
