US drama in which a vulnerable teenager becomes intensely involved with an experimental theatre project.
Beautifully realised deep dive into the mind of a vulnerable teen, from director Josephine Decker.
In this absorbing, weirdly moving drama, Molly Parker plays a theatre director throwing the spotlight on her young star’s mental health issues.
Overwhelming at first, Madeline’s Madeline only gains from repeat viewings.
A film as much about its form as content, Madeline’s Madeline is a difficult-to-watch but heady mixture of raw emotion, big ideas and cinematic fireworks. If for no other reason, see it now to be on the ground floor at the unveiling of a new star: Helena Howard.
A vulnerable drama student is exploited by her teacher in this experimental drama from Josephine Decker.
