First-time feature director Nia DaCosta will see the official release of her film Little Woods tomorrow, April 19. Little Woods is a blend of familial drama, neo-western, and crime thriller with a focus on the perspective of women navigating highly politicized conflicts like the opioid crisis and restricted access to reproductive health care. The film stars Tessa Thompson and Lily James as estranged sisters struggling under the strains of poverty in a North Dakota oil boomtown. Thompson has been involved with the film since the 2015 Sundance Institute Directors Lab, where she volunteered her time to be a resource actress for the project. DaCosta is currently directing the ‘spiritual sequel’ to the 1992 horror classic Candyman.

You wanna be part of the story right?
In a horror film, the appearance of a mirror is so familiar a trope that we’re primed for a scare. We tense up so tightly that the scare often falls flat. In Candyman, Nia DaCosta plays with these reflective surfaces and our expectations in fantastic ways. While the film’s scares are more rooted in the very real and systemic violence the poor and Black residents of Chicago face every day, I was distracted. Not so much by the frustratingly direct ways it wants to comment on gentrification and race, but by its interiors.
Cara Brower’s interiors don’t just speak to gentrification or obvious luxury as much as they do to taste. The walls, furniture and art don’t just look expensive, they’re beautiful. The colors are deep, fabrics feel tactile and objects totally considered. Everything compliments everything so well that it’s often hard to notice the reflection of Candyman when there’s that stunning bookshelf demanding your attention. But, maybe, that’s the point. Because when you do spot him, you startle.
Why did you let your guard down? How did you miss him? He’s right there.
It’s DaCosta… Nia DaCosta’s Candyman
