I really enjoyed watching Little Woods a lot. It’s an indie drama from last year starring Tessa Thompson as a young woman in rural North Dakota on the last days of her probation for running prescription pills over the border, trying to get a better job elsewhere, and she gets stuck back into the cycle due to her mother’s death, her home being up for foreclosure, and her sister dealing with domestic drama.
I really liked this tight intimate drama, directed by Nia DaCosta, and how high the stakes were for this one ordinary person. Thompson was really great in this movie in playing a struggling person trying to balance between finishing out her probation and trying to save her family, and I like how she has this combination of deep eyes and a soft voice while under a lot of pressure. It was just a small film that really touched me a lot.
