Little Woods (2019)

A young woman scraping out a living in a North Dakota oil boomtown must make hard choices in Nia DaCosta’s Little Woods, risking prison in order to keep her sister and nephew with a roof over their heads. Less relentlessly bleak than Winter’s Bone, which along with Frozen River is an obvious inspiration here, the life-on-the-margins drama makes a fine, tense vehicle for Tessa Thompson, who in the last few years has stood out in a variety of genres. She and co-star Lily James (as the sister) will attract needed attention on the fest circuit to this winner of Tribeca’s juried Nora Ephron award.

Three weeks after the events of Split, David Dunn, working with his now-adult son Joseph, has been using his superhuman abilities to protect people from criminals under a new alias known as “The Overseer.” David and Joseph are currently fixated on pursuing Kevin Wendell Crumb, who suffers from dissociative identity disorder, which provides his moniker “The Horde.” Joseph narrows down Kevin’s location, and David discovers where he is currently operating by intentionally seeking him out and casually touching his nine year old identity, “Hedwig.”
