Winner of the AFI Fest Breakthrough Audience Award, Ma is Rowlson-Hall’s feature debut, after having worked as a choreographer for bands including Sleigh Bells and MGMT, and with directors including Lena Dunham and Gaspar Noé, as well as on numerous short films of her own. Boldly dialogue free, it allows the actors’ impeccable and voluminous movement to drive the narrative, such as it is, through the scrupulously composed sound design and luminous cinematography. Proudly feminist, Ma is a visually poetic story for the ages. |
