The Indie Fresh List: El diablo todo el tiempo, solo y Más
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.
For the foreseeable future, the specialty box office and all theatrical releases will be on hold as we all make efforts to socially distance ourselves and reduce the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. With that in mind, we have reshaped our Indie Fresh List to include VOD and select drive-in releases. This week we have a southern crime thriller, a gory horror flick, a drama about a strange homecoming, and a powerful doc about voting rights. In our Spotlight Section, we have an award-winning story about an undocumented trans woman looking for love and citizenship, along with a new interview with the writer-director, Isabel Sandoval. Finally, in our Indie Trailers section, we have new clips featuring Vince Vaughn, Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen, Anthony Hopkins, and Olivia Colman.
