RogerEbert.com — The Novice
Writer-director Lauren Hadaway makes her bold and gripping feature filmmaking debut with “The Novice,” set in the competitive world of collegiate rowing. (She based the story on her experiences on the rowing team at my alma mater, Southern Methodist University, Go Mustangs.) The sound design is exquisite and Isabelle Fuhrman absolutely tears it up in the lead role. My rave, at RogerEbert.com.
