Maddie Ziegler and Jenna Ortega in The Fallout (2021)
Bolstered by new friendships forged under sudden and tragic circumstances, high schooler Vada begins to reinvent herself, while re-evaluating her relationships with her family, friends and her view of the world. Moving away from her comfortable family routine, she starts taking chances with a series of quicksilver decisions that test her own boundaries and push her in new directions. As she spends more time with Mia, they grow closer, and Vada slowly redefines herself through their shared experiences, leading her further away from that day and closer to living her life in the now.

    • Quotes

      Anna: What are you feeling right now?

      Vada Cavell: I don't know.

      Anna: Yes, you do.

      Vada Cavell: I feel... mad.

      Anna: Mad about what?

      Vada Cavell: I feel mad, because I had no idea one guy with a gun could fuck up my life so hard in six minutes.

      Vada Cavell: Fuck up so many lives!

      Vada Cavell: Then I think I should be grateful to be alive.

      Vada Cavell: I feel like, I don't know, maybe there's some weird fucked up reason why I made it and other people didn't.

      Vada Cavell: Um, but then when you sit back and you think about it, you realize, "No! There isn't. There's no fucking reason."

      Vada Cavell: None of us should've died.

    9/10
    A pulsing, terrifying, funny, & infuriating look at a uniquely American trauma.
    I wasn't interested in another gun-violence teen drama. However, 10 minutes in, I was struggling to hold it together. Ten minutes after it ended, I was reeling from a gut-punch ending. Ortega, Ziegler, & Park give an authentic presentation of teendom, like Burnham's Eight Grade, with an intense injection of tragedy. The fact that writer-director Park didn't live through a school shooting shows her innate touch at empathetic filmmaking.
