Festivals - SXSW 2019 : Teaser Premiere Darlin’

By Mulder, 08 march 2019

Darlin’ is one of three Midnighters directed by women at this year's fest. DARLIN' will have its world premiere at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival on Saturday, March 9th.

Continuing the twistedly vicious adventure of Lucky McKee’s cult hit The Woman, Darlin’ sees standout star Pollyanna McIntosh both in front of and behind the camera, expertly commanding an all-consuming feast on the senses and sensibility in equal measure.

Synopsis :
Found at a Catholic hospital filthy and ferocious, feral teenager Darlin’ is whisked off to a care home run by The Bishop and his obedient nuns where she is to be tamed into a “good girl." However, Darlin’ holds a secret darker than the “sins” she is threatened with, and she is not traveling alone. The Woman, equally fierce and feral, who raised her is ever present and is determined to come for her no matter who tries to step in her way.
