The Novice

I can’t wait to see – and hear – what [Hadaway] does next.

A hard hitting look inside the body and mind of a compulsive perfectionist.

Hadaway delivers an engaging queer psychological thriller which delves deep into the destructive nature of obsessive-compulsive behaviour.

It’s hard to deny Fuhrman’s pinch-faced vehemence and the film’s hallucinatory verve.

Lauren Hadaway's feature directorial debut treads a daring line between drama and psychological horror.

Lauren Hadaway's The Novice is a powerful look at compulsion.

The Novice is a tense, fast paced and unique psychological drama that explores its theme of obsession well, diving into the psyche of its lead character with great development.

It’s uncomfortable, terrifying, and even more so, relatable as a coming-of-age story that deals with the anxieties of college achievements.

...an early career-defining moment for Fuhrman...

Shining a light on one of the darker sides of sport -- and refreshingly from an all-female perspective -- The Novice might just be the best drama of its type for many years.
