Her debut feature film is a powerful depiction of life on the poverty line
WHEN “LITTLE WOODS” premiered to rapturous reviews at the Tribeca Film Festival last year—it currently holds a rare 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a review-aggregator site—and was snatched up by Neon, a feted distributor, it signalled the arrival of a promising new voice in film. For her directorial debut, Nia DaCosta has produced a profound work about the practical realities and emotional hardships of poverty, set in an oil boomtown in North Dakota.
It is a simple story, and one which touches on a panoply of current political issues: economic anxiety in rural America, opioid addiction, access to abortions and the cost of health care. Again, the film could have strayed into polemic, but Ms DaCosta keeps the policies in the background to focus on their human repercussions. Eschewing thundering speeches or grand injustices, the film unfolds simply as a series of problems for Ollie to solve.
