Join us weekly as Rotten Tomatoes reports on what’s indie features are streaming. From promising releases by new voices to experimental efforts from storied filmmakers – or perhaps the next indie darling to go the distance for end-of-year accolades – we will break it all down for you here each week.
This week for our Indie Fresh List, we have a pair of very different love stories: one about two lovers who are trying to stay together after their secret affair is threatened, and a sci-fi romance in which one of the pair is slowly losing their memories. In our Spotlight Section, we have a recent comedy about a reluctant set of parents-to-be and an interview with one of the leads, Matthew Lewis. Finally, in our trailer section, we have new clips featuring Margret Qualley and Benedict Cumberbatch.
