Little Woods

Tessa Thompson is, of course, best known for her role as Valkyrie in the Marvel movies and Lily James for Cinderella, but in this dark, compelling indie, they both prove their ranges are much more than blockbuster heroines. The duo play a pair of sisters: one who's just finished parole for smuggling drugs to try to help her dying mother, and one who is unexpectedly pregnant but can't afford to raise the child or to jump through the hoops to have an abortion. It's a devastating, challenging look at the healthcare crisis that still foregrounds its characters above the tough themes it pushes audiences to consider.
