Join us every week as Rotten Tomatoes reports what independent features are streaming. From promising releases of new voices to the experimental efforts of renowned filmmakers – or perhaps the next indie darling to go the distance for year-end accolades – we’ll explain it all here every week.
This week for our Indie Fresh List, we have a gripping crime thriller and a couple of sequels; the first is a semi-autobiographical account by writer-director Johanna Hogg, and the second is a sequel to Zach Snyder’s prequel Army of the dead. In our Spotlight section, we have a drama examining the human cost and aftermath of a school shooting, which we discussed with one of the stars, Emmy Award-winning actress Ann Dowd (The Handmaid’s Tale).
