The Fits 2015
- Director: Anna Rose Holmer
- Based on book: no
- Cast: Royalty Hightower, Alexis Neblitt, Da’Shan Minor, Lauren Gibson, Makyla Burnam
- Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
- None of them
- Why? Dance
- Seen: 12 October 2019
Eleven-year-old Toni (Hightower) boxes
with her brother (Minor) at the community centre but when she discovers the
local dance troupe she can’t resist. She joins and learns to dance. She felt
like an outsider while boxing and she still does in the dance troupe but she makes
friends with the younger Beezy (Neblitt). Some of the older girls are afflicted
with a mysterious disease which causes fits and unconsciousness.
It’s very slow with a lot of close-ups
and long shots of Toni. In some ways it’s visually evocative but is it symbolic?
Allegorical? I don’t get it.
