Little Accidents

This drama from debut feature director Sara Colangelo (expanding her own 2010 short film) unfolds in a small American mining town which is reeling from a recent industrial accident. Shot in West Virginia, the story explores further tragedies to come. Chloë Sevigny plays a single mother whose husband died in the original mining accident and Elizabeth Banks plays the wife of one of the mine's corporate executives. When the film premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, there was much praise for newcomer Boyd Holbrook, playing the sole surviving miner of the accident which casts a shadow over the film.
