Lynn Shelton ‘s Laggies , starring Keira Knightley and Chloe Grace Moretz , marks the director’s first time helming a film she didn’t also script. But she still had a strong connection to the screenplay. Shelton, who previously wrote and directed the well-received Your Sister’s Sister, tells The Hollywood Reporter, “It felt like something I could have written. And I would have written it differently, but I felt such an affinity with writer Andrea Seigel ‘s voice.” In the movie, Knightley plays 28-year-old Megan, who’s struggling to grow up in the conventional ways her friends are, still dating her high school boyfriend and working odd jobs for her father. But after spending some time hanging out with Moretz’s 16-year-old Annika and her teenage friends, she learns what kind of adult she wants to be.
