Director: Juila Hart (“Miss Stevens”)
Cast: Gugu Mbatha-Raw, David Strathairn, Lorraine Toussaint, Saniyya Sidney
Details: The always on verge of breaking out Gugu Mbatha-Raw plays a woman forced to go on the run when her superhuman abilities are discovered. Years later she has to use her last resort option – returning to the small town family she abandoned to seek refuge from a rogue government organization determined to capture her.
This New Mexico shot thriller from “La La Land” producer Jordan Horowitz also stars Christopher Denham as the head of the group hunting her down, and David Strathairn as the town’s sheriff who is suspicious of the young woman’s return. However it’s the draw of Hart, Horowitz’s wife, whose first feature “Miss Stevens” with Timothee Chalamet was a very strong debut and hopefully, this should prove a similar showcase for Mbatha-Raw.
