The Fallout depicts the very real fear and sad reality for some high schoolers in the US. Finding themselves in the bathroom together, gunshots go off and Vada Cavell (Jenna Ortega, Netflix's You) and Mia Reed (Maddie Ziegler, West Side Story) find themselves irrevocably tied to one another, united in their shared trauma of surviving a school shooting.
A directorial debut for Megan Park, The Fallout also stars John Oritz as Ortega's onscreen father and Shailene Woodley as her therapist.
Heralded in particular for its direction, screenplay, and the performance given by Ortega, The Fallout promises a compelling and moving insight into teenage trauma and grief. You can watch The Fallout online with a HBO Max subscription (opens in new tab) in the US.
