Young. Wild. Free. Review: Banks’ Bold Feature Debut Is Captivating [Sundance]

Emmy-nominated writer, Thembi Banks (Hulu's Only Murders in the Building) brought her first project, a short film called Baldwin Beauty, to the Sundance Film Festival back in 2020. This year, she returns for her feature directorial debut, Young. Wild. Free., which follows Brandon (Algee Smith) as a struggling high schooler and artist who dreams of being freed from his overcomplicated life. A modern day take on Bonnie and Clyde, the film sees Brandon cross paths with the fiery and confident Cassidy (Sierra Capri), whose zest for danger appeals to him in peculiar ways. Packed with humor and great chemistry among the leads, Young. Wild. Free. lives up to its name, seducing its viewers into its wild ride.
