'This is a unique, uncompromising portrayal of working-class men and women—but especially women—who have been shoved to the margins.' holler moviereview
The personal gets political in Holler, a powerful feature debut set in writer/director Nicole Riegel’s hometown of Jackson, Ohio. Jessica Barden stars as Ruth, a smart and sullen teen who starts stealing scrap metal when her older brother Blaze loses his job at the local factory. With their mom Rhonda in jail and detoxing, Blaze and Ruth are barely keeping the bill collectors at bay.
Shot on Super 16mm film during a brutal Appalachian winter, Holler recalls the grainy immediacy of Barbara Loden’s 1970 film Wanda, a major inspiration for Riegel. At times, the narrative feels a little too sketched out, rather than filled in, but Barden’s performance is compulsively watchable and beautifully complicated. This is a unique, uncompromising portrayal of working-class men and women—but especially women—who have been shoved to the margins.
