Indie Fresh List: Black Bear, I’m Your Woman, and Another Round
Join us weekly as Rotten Tomatoes reports on what’s indie features are streaming. From promising releases by new voices to experimental efforts from storied filmmakers – or perhaps the next indie darling to go the distance for end-of-year accolades – we will break it all down for you here each week.
This week in our Indie Fresh List, we have a 70’s crime thriller, a drunken dark comedy, a mindbending relationship thriller, and a heartwarming documentary about kids writing to Santa. In our Spotlight section, we bring back Kindred along with a new interview with the film’s director, Joe Marcantonio. In our Indie Trailers section, we have new clips featuring The Crown’s Vanessa Kirby, Shia Labeouf, and Jason Segel.
