“Equal parts coming-of-age story and slow-burn thriller; Quietly absorbing and methodically disquieting. Schloss is excellent.”
– Joe Leydon, VARIETY
“Boasts a major turn from Sophia Mitri Schloss. You simply can’t turn away from her.”
– Kate Erbland, INDIEWIRE
“A provocative drama elevated by its strong performances; an emotionally violent coming-of-age story crafted with vivid detail. Sadie is played brilliantly by Sophia Mitri Schloss.”
– John Fink, THE FILM STAGE
“A startling character study. Bolstered by an unnerving breakout performance by Sophia Mitri Schloss.”
-Ally Johnson, THE PLAYLIST
Synopsis
Sadie is the powerful, unsettling and darkly funny story of a young girl (Sophia Mitri Schloss)who will stop at nothing to preserve her father’s place on the home front. Sadie is the daughter of a soldier and she models herself after his military example. When her mom, Rae (Melanie Lynskey), begins dating a new man, Cyrus (John Gallagher Jr.), Sadie vows to come between them, whatever it takes.
