(2015) dir Anna Rose Holmer w/Royalty Hightower, Alexis Neblett, Inayah Rodgers, Da’Sean Minor, Makyla Burnam, Lauren Gibson [72 min; DCP]
This lyrical, nearly-perfect debut film follows Toni (Hightower), a young tomboy who hangs out at the local community center helping her brother tend to the boxing ring, as she becomes increasingly fascinated by the competitive dance troupe that practices there. Toni’s decision to join the troupe coincides with mysterious fainting fits that start to strike the members and she finds herself exposed to more than just the first flush of adolescence.

“The Fits is more than a transporting film experience. It’s cinema poetry in motion.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“The Fits” and its electrifying young star give getting in formation renewed meaning, with inspiring, self-assured verve.” – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
