IN PERSON ONLY

Alex Dall (Isabelle Fuhrman - Masters of Sex, The Hunger Games) is a queer college Freshman who joins the rowing team. Intent on outperforming her teammates, Alex pushes herself to her limits, and beyond, alienating everyone around her in the name of success. Furhman’s fierce lead performance collides with Lauren Hadaway’s bold direction and dynamic editing, creating a visceral window into a cutthroat world. Stylish cinematography and a seductive soundtrack complete the experience, evoking the romance and danger of falling in love, with the attraction, the drama, and the fallout. While a comparison to Whiplash is sure to follow, The Novice is a bold new entry in “obsessive” cinema.
