Sony Pictures annonce pour le 24 novembre 2015, le film Ricki and the Flash en édition DVD et Blu-ray de Jonathan Demme avec Meryl Streep, Mamie Gummer, Kevin Kline, Rick Springfield, Sebastian Stan et Audra McDonald.

Ricki a quitté mari, enfants et vie confortable afin de réaliser son rêve de devenir une vedette de la chanson. Des décennies plus tard, elle essaie de joindre les deux bouts en travaillant comme caissière, le jour, et en chantant dans le bar de son quartier, le soir. Lorsque son ex-époux l'informe que leur fille Julie a tenté de se suicider après l'échec de son union, Ricki vole à son secours. Mais les retrouvailles sont difficiles après tant d'années d'absence, tant pour Julie que pour ses deux frères, Adam et Josh. Grâce au soutien de Greg, son amant et guitariste de son groupe musical, Ricki s'efforce de recoller les morceaux d'une famille brisée par la quête de gloire et de célébrité.
