Anna Rose Holmer's 'The Fits' Trailer & Poster

There's only been a handful of films that screened at Sundance this year that makes me really excited for this year in film and one of those films is Anna Rose Holmer's The Fits. 11-year-old Toni is training as a boxer with her brother at the community center when she becomes enamored with the local dance troupe. But when a mysterious outbreak of fainting spells plague the team, Toni's desire for acceptance becomes more complicated. What a fascinating story that takes a peculiar turn into different worlds! Give me more!

Newcomer Royalty Hightower as Toni is fascinating to watch as she navigates her different worlds. There is a undeniable hypnotizing quality to the trailer in its structure, plot, and cinematography.  I haven't seen a film yet that shows the magical and paralyzing journey of adolescence quite like this so I am beyond elated that Oscilloscope is releasing The Fits on June 3rd!
