The Fits

Hosted by Joe Morgenstern Jun. 03, 2016 Hollywood
A wonderful little movie, The Fits opens on an 11-year old doing sit-ups -- 25 in all, hands clasped behind her head, radiant face to the camera.

All ups with no downs, The Fits is a motion picture in the truest sense of the term. What's on the screen is so pure and simple that it looks like life caught on the fly, transcending race and ethnicity, just as it transcends gravity.
