Though the title of this film may sound benign, the contents within Sadie are far from it. Writer and director Megan Griffiths gives the audience a visceral and eye-opening look from an adolescent’s perspective on everyday situations in an adult-centric world. Some scenes may be shocking for some, however; the way Sadie is written, there is no room for sugar-coating anything. The performance by young actress Sophia Mitri Schloss in the title role of Sadie is award worthy. Schloss’ portrayal of a teenager who’s caught between childhood and puberty is outstanding. While Sadie possesses some childlike qualities, she’s also on the cusp of becoming a dark and cynical human being.
