The Electric StateandO’Dessaactually have a surprising amount in common. Both are dystopian science fiction movies with young female leads whose circumstances force them to leave behind everything they know and go on a trying journey. Both young women are driven by a desire to maintain a connection to their lost family, whether by searching for a lost brother or lost heirloom.

Sink’s character O’Dessa is billed as the last in her family of ramblers, who were once traveling singers.O’Dessais a rock opera that blends its titular character’s more folksy style at the beginning of the film with electrified pop and rock when she reaches the city, setting Sadie Sink’s new movie slightly apart from that of herStranger Thingsco-star.
