Sadie (2018)

Sadie: Directed by Megan Griffiths. With Sophia Mitri Schloss, Melanie Lynskey, John Gallagher Jr., Danielle Brooks. SADIE is the story of a girl who will stop at nothing to preserve her father’s place on the home front. Sadie (Sophia Mitri Schloss) is the daughter of a soldier and models herself after his military example. When her mom (Melanie Lynskey) begins dating a new man (John Gallagher, Jr.), Sadie vows to drive him out by whatever means necessary. He is the enemy, and if she’s learned anything from the world she inhabits, it’s that the enemy deserves no mercy. The film also stars Tony Hale, Danielle Brooks, Tee Dennard and Keith L. Williams.

“Firstly, you should know, I DONu0026#39;T like these kind of movies. I like action movies and this is not an action movie. Also I like sci-fi and this is not sci-fi. What it is, is a surprisingly good representation of the kind of mixed up lives that many u0026quot;normalu0026quot; families end up living these days. Sadie displays many characteristics typical of any 13 year old kid that you know, along with the messy family structure, and events, that are common to many. The directing is clever and avoids overstating many of the small steps that are instead left as implied, and eventually build up to an unfortunate (although somewhat predicable) finale.”
