The Fallout (2022)
The Fallout stars Golden Globe, MTV Movie Award and Critics Choice Super Award winner Jenna Ortega (Wednesday, Scream) as Vada Cavell, a survivor of a high school shooting.
The Fallout has a 93% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Variety says “It's a remarkable accomplishment: a film with the confidence to pose big questions, and the humility to leave them unanswered.” Vox says “The Fallout is terrific, and terrifically real.” And Silver Screen Riot calls The Fallout “the first defining movie of Gen Z”.
The film took home three wins at SXSW, including both the Grand Jury Award and the Audience Award for best Narrative Feature for debut feature writer-director Megan Park (The Secret Life of the American Teenager), who was named the Director to Watch at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. The Fallout was also nominated for Best Streaming Movie at the Hollywood Critics Association Television Awards, and for Outstanding Film - Streaming or TV at the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards.
People’s Choice winner Maddie Ziegler co-stars, along with the likes of Black Reel nominee Niles Fitch (This is Us), Emmy winner Julie Bowen (Modern Family), and Emmy nominee Shailene Woodley (Big Little Lies).
