I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

The Fits features a very clever central idea, depending on how you interpret it of course. Unfortunately, it is just this idea, and it doesn't entirely have a way of pushing it forward.That's a slightly harsh statement to make generally. Narratively, I think the film struggles to find a way to push it's central premise forward. They have fits, and figuring out how and why they're happening is more a job for the viewer than the screenplay. It makes for an interesting film, although personally I would have liked to have seen it explored on a wider level. This film was made for less than $200k. That's a lot of money in the real world, but in the film industry that's a remarkably low budget. You'd never have guessed, however. The film is gorgeous to look at, partly down to the crisp lighting and partly down to some fantastic framing and focus. The cinematography really is the highlight of this film. It's also not just used for style - the cinematography does seem to be helping the film form its tone and style as well.Some people have given great acclaim to this film, and I can absolutely appreciate why. It *just* misses the great level for me, but to discourage people from watching this would be wrong. It's an indie film with many admirable features and some exciting originality, but it just doesn't quite have enough meat on its bones.

I am pretty generous with movie reviews. this one is pretty crappy. 55 min of a little girl not fitting in, doing boxing then randomly doing dancing and not fitting in well with no explation. then 55 min later girls start to have seizure and float for no reason, and nobody questions it. many questions and no answers, then the movie ends. pretty dumb

While the professional critics seemed to be falling all over themselves that this movie is a masterpiece, I feel somewhat relieved and encouraged that most non-professional critics had a similar reaction as mine, which is that it wasn't very good.We're all waiting to see the ending that will hopefully make sense of what we saw, and instead, I was even more confused. Even doing some online research to figure out what it all means, I have seen nothing that explains this in a satisfactory way. Coming-of-age? Of course. The lives of underprivileged children struggling to better themselves? Yep. But the problem is that it seems that the "fits" are a metaphor for something bigger, and Toni's final scene is also a metaphor for something bigger, but I honestly have no idea.It's great that the film is only 72 minutes long, but that's about it. For most people (excluding professional critics, of course), I can almost guarantee that you're going to be stunned at the high critical acclaim, and wishing you did something else with your 72 minutes.

In a reverse of your typical stereotypes, main protagonist Toni is a girl who actually starts out as a boxer (in training, mostly so that her boxing brother can keep an eye on her while he trains) decides to make a switch to the all-girl dance team that practices next door. It's a great coming-of-age story about a girl trapped in a bubble she needs to pop.When I saw the trailer, I noticed that the lead actress playing Toni is getting mad props for her performance, which she does deserve, but I also fell in love with the performance of the supporting actress whose plays Breezy, the friend that Toni makes when she joins the dance crew. The entire relationship was done simple and natural and yet sends a powerful message on friendship. Watching both of these young black actresses on the screen sharing scenes together made the movie for me.There was a big metaphor in the movie that I did not fully understand about the girls having seizures because of contaminated water, it has something to do with fitting in but I'm not fully sure.Otherwise, I absolutely enjoined this movie, especially the chemistry between the two young actors
