Premiering to critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival and Berlinale Forum, Madeline’s Madeline represents a thrilling breakthrough for American independent writer-director Josephine Decker and mesmerizing newcomer Helena Howard. Madeline (Howard) has become an integral part of a prestigious physical theater troupe. When the workshop’s ambitious director (Molly Parker) pushes the teenager to weave her rich interior world and troubled history with her mother (Miranda July) into their collective art, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. Seeking a visual analogue for Madeline’s internal struggle, Decker adopts a stylized, expressionistic approach that sets her apart from her indie cohort and imbues the film with a vibrant sense of urgency—prompting IndieWire critic David Ehrlich to declare Madeline’s Madeline “one of the boldest and most invigorating American films of the 21st century.”
