Synopsis
The Fits (2016) is Anna Rose Holmer's indie drama you can watch online on iFILM. Eleven-year-old Toni trains at a boxing gym with her older brother, but her eyes keep drifting to the next room, where a girls' dance team rehearses.
Toni decides to join them. She drills the routines, gets her ears pierced, quietly tries to find a place among girls who feel like another species. Then something strange moves through the team: one by one the dancers collapse in unexplained fits — no illness, no clear cause. Is it contagion, a rite of passage, or something each girl has to pass through to belong?
Holmer's debut runs a lean 72 minutes and rests almost entirely on Royalty Hightower's face — barely any dialogue, everything carried by movement and gaze. A small, hypnotic film about bodies and belonging that critics caught at Venice and Sundance. Stream The Fits (2016) online on iFILM.
