. Directed and scripted by Sara Colangelo, this movie is based on Sara’s award-winning short film of the same name. Produced by Anne Carey, Jason Michael Berman and Tom Fore and distributed by Amplify, this movie is filmed entirely in West Virginia. The cinematography is helmed by Rachel Morrison, editing is done by Suzy Elmiger and music score is composed by Marcelo Zarvos.
Plot
The story begins in a small town that is still recovering from a terrible coal mine accident that has claimed several lives, leaving only one survivor. Meanwhile, the teenage son of the mine owner, JT, goes missing and three strangers find themselves tangled together in a maze of secrets, hidden truths and wounds shared by the entire community. Reeling from the disappearance of her son, Diane distances herself from her husband Bill, a mining company executive who is suspected by the townspeople to have orchestrated the accident due to his own selfish reasons. As her family faces the collective anger of the community, Diane develops an emotional bond with the sole survivor of the disaster, Amos. Gradually, as dark truths reveal themselves, the few remaining threads of sanity holding the town together are ripped apart, creating a perfect blend of suspense and drama.
Star Performance
The story is set in a small mining town in West Virginia and is centred around three characters suffering from interwoven tragedies. Elizabeth Banks, Boyd Holbrook and Jacob Lofland have rendered commendable performances. Sara Colangelo has rendered her script with sensitivity. The story revolves around a mining accident with a lone survivor, followed by the disappearance of a teenage boy that draws together the surviving miner, the lonely wife of the mine owner, and a local boy in a tangle of deceit and secrets. The boy, played by Jacob Lofland, is a fine young actor. The plot has potential to become a good suspense thriller but loses focus midway owing to its slow pace and often confusing narrative.
Analysis
In a small town, a mining accident has killed several workers, leaving a lone survivor, Amos Jenkins (Boyd Holbrook). The accident shook all the townspeople who have held the mine owner, Bill Doyle, known to be a cold, heartless businessman, responsible for this tragedy. Soon after the accident, the mine owner’s teenage son goes missing and this proves to be a turning point. This movie has a modern noir feeling, with a slow pace and convoluted backdrop. However, Jacob Lofland, who plays a local boy, Owen, is a natural in every scene despite having a minor role to play. Paired with Elizabeth Banks and Josh Lucas, the movie has a fantastic cast and gets featured in a congenial setting for a perfect thriller. However, the story has several loopholes that catch attention, the mystery is not gripping enough and the climax leaves us with more questions than answers.

Verdict
Little Accidents follows the disappearance of a teenage boy in a small American coal town which is still reeling under tragedy after a huge mining accident. This disappearance brings together three local residents with very different backgrounds where they struggle to detangle the web of secrets revolving around the boy's whereabouts while being unaware of how connected they truly are. Its a dark noir drama, suitable for a one-time watch.
