Review of The Fits

The Fits (2015)
6/10
The Fits
6 September 2023
Tells the story of 11 year old Toni (Royalty Hightower) who helps out at her brother's boxing gym but takes an interest in the dance school that takes place in the same building and joins in only to find that one by one the girls in the group collapse and gave fits.

This is a strange, micro budget movie that seems to be talking about the struggles of growing into puberty, competing and being alone etc on a practical level but also as a metaphor based on Toni's interactions with both the boys and the girls whose behaviour and performances supported by elaborate sounds and music, seem to drive her forward. In that sense it's all a bit heavy and complex for a Friday night, but it nonetheless a quite hypnotic experience.
