Madeline's Madeline [videorecording (DVD)].

Osciloscope Pictures, 2019.

Mentally ill -- Drama.

[videorecording (DVD)].

"Madeline (newcomer Helena Howard) has become an integral part of a prestigious theater troupe. When the workshop's ambitious director (Molly Parker) pushes the teenager to weave her rich interior world and troubled history with her mother (Miranda July) into their collective art, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. The resulting battle between imagination and appropriation rips out of the rehearsal space and through all three women's lives. Writer/director Josephine Decker (Flames, Thou Wast Mild and Lovely, Butter on the Latch) utilizes a welcome expressionistic approach that imbues her subjects with a vibrant sense of urgency. Anchored by a virtuoso performance from Helena Howard, whose powerful screen presence commands attention, Decker's film displays a rare sensitivity for capturing the struggles of discovering a sense of one's self that defies easy narrative categorization."--Container.
