Violation — written, directed, and produced by ongoing collaborators Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli — is. Among those ostensible norms: the linear path from inciting assault to bloody revenge. It isn’t so much that the rules of rape-revenge haven’t been broken before; we’re currently in a moment for movies in which they’re being broken, troubled, and thrown back on themselves with relative frequency. What’s interesting to track are the ways that these attempts to subvert the genre — to be subversive, even — can often fall into some of the same,...

Madeleine Sims-Fewer stars and co-directs this rape-revenge movie that brilliantly and brutally reframes the trauma inflicted by male violence
In Violation’s closing stretch, Miriam (Madeleine Sims-Fewer) sits numbly in a rain-lashed car and watches a man harangue his wife in an eastern European language. Miriam has just done something unspeakable, in reaction to something unforgivable; preparing to finish the job at an anonymous motel, it is as if she has crossed a border into a foreign country. But the couple in front of her show the inescapable constant: male violence. Building to a remorseless climax, Sims-Fewer and co-writer/director Dusty Mancinelli brilliantly, and times almost unwatchably, overhaul the rape-revenge movie as something far more realistic, traumatised and noxious.
Miriam has come from London to visit her sister Greta (Anna Maguire) in the Canadian forest idyll she shares with husband Dylan (Jesse Lavercombe). But tension is in the air: in...

Madeleine Sims-Fewer: 'We wanted to show kind of the brutal reality of what revenge in real life might look like' Photo: Shudder Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dustin Mancinelli’s intelligent and melancholic revenge horror Violation arrives on Shudder tomorrow (March 25) after being well-received at both Sundance and SXSW. Madeleine also stars in the film, as Miriam. Her story unfolds in fragments, involving a woodland getaway with her partner Caleb (Obi Abili) and her sister Greta (Anna Maguire) and her partner Dylan (Jesse Lavercombe) and a traumatic event that is the trigger for another. We caught up with the filmmakers ahead of their SXSW screenings to chat about the film, which although their debut feature, is the culmination of a collaboration that has already produced shorts including Chubby and Slap Happy.
We start by talking about their working relationship, which has the added dimension of acting for Madeleine – in a part which requires every ounce of emotions.

A selection at TIFF, Sundance, and the forthcoming SXSW, Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli’s rape revenge thriller Violation is now arriving on Shudder next month. Starring Madeleine Sims-Fewer, Anna Maguire, Jesse Lavercombe, and Obi Abili, the film weaves through multiple timelines to tell the story of fierce and deserved retribution after an unthinkable act. Ahead of the release, the first trailer has now arrived.
Jared Mobarak said in his TIFF review, “We’re often told growing up that every story has two sides so that we can learn how to put ourselves into another’s shoes and see whether actions we thought were harmless actually did cause harm. That doesn’t mean you can’t project the sentiments onto adult situations too, though. Especially when they deal with memory. Take Miriam (Madeleine Sims-Fewer) and Greta (Anna Maguire) for example—two sisters who used to do everything together in their youth.

"It haunts your waking dreams..." Shudder has unveiled the first official trailer for a brutally dark thriller titled Violation, one of the big breakout's from last year's Toronto Film Festival in the Midnight Madness category. "The bold and unflinching thriller world premiered to critical and audience acclaim at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival, where Sims-Fewer was a recipient of the TIFF Rising Star Award, and was also an official selection for both the 2021 Sundance and SXSW Film Festivals." It just hit Sundance and is streaming on Shudder in March. A troubled woman on the edge of divorce returns home to her younger sister after years apart. But when her sister and brother-in-law betray her trust, she embarks on a vicious crusade of revenge. This stars Madeleine Sims-Fewer, Anna Maguire, Jesse Lavercombe, and Obi Abili. If you haven't heard about this, critics have been raving about it for a while. Looks like it gets intense.

Shudder has released the first official trailer for “Violation,” a disturbing revenge thriller that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, recently screened at Sundance, and will play SXSW next month ahead of its March 25 streaming release. The film is a haunting psychological drama about a country retreat gone awry when two sisters and their partners hunker down for the weekend. It’s the feature filmmaking debut of Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli, with Sims-Fewer delivering a wallop of a performance as the unraveling protagonist.
Here’s the official synopsis, lest we don’t give too much away: “With her marriage about to implode, Miriam returns to her hometown to seek solace in the comfort of her younger sister and brother-in-law.

With the 2021 Sundance Film Festival now officially in the books, here’s a look at three different female-centric films that I had the opportunity to screen during the festival: Frida Kempff’s Knocking, Violation from Madeleine Sims-Frewer and Dusty Macinelli, and Karen Cinorre’s girl power fantasy Mayday.
Knocking: In Knocking, filmmaker Frida Kempff has crafted a timely and effective thriller that explores mental health in a very thoughtful and thought-provoking way. The story is centered around Molly (Cecilia Milocco), a woman who has recently been released from a psychiatric facility after experiencing a traumatic event and is looking to start her life over. As she settles into her new apartment during an oppressive heatwave, Molly begins to hear a mysterious knocking through the wall. What could it be? Is it someone fixing something, or is there something more sinister than that going on? As Molly begins to investigate the strange noises,...

Revenge is a dish best served cold in Dusty Mancinelli and Madeleine Sims-Fewer's feature debut and they also run this psychological horror through with a swirl of inescapable melancholy.
The moment Sims-Fewer's Miriam utters the words "don't" and "stop" they hang in the air, full of ambiguity. Her interpretation differs strongly from that of Dylan (Jesse Lavercombe), although we meet them at an earlier point in this fragmented narrative, as they go for a woodland break with their respective partners. Dylan's relationship with Miriam's sister Greta (Anna Maguire) is full of bouncy flirtation, a stark contrast to Miriam's rockier situation with her other half Caleb (Obi Abili). Disorientingly, we move to a point in the future, where Greta and Miriam seem to be on much frostier terms, animosity prickling between them.
What has happened is not immediately obvious, and ambiguity is the name of the game as the writer/directors take us back and.

Editor’s note: The following review contains spoilers for the ending of “Violation.”
In their Master Class during 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, “Transparent” creator Joey Soloway posits that the female gaze, a term originated by film theorist Laura Mulvey, should not strive to be the direct inverse of the male gaze. While women, trans, and non-binary filmmakers are well within their rights to subvert conventional norms around nudity, sexuality, and the framing of bodies, a truly “other gaze” (Soloway’s inclusive amendment of the term) should aim to create new imagery outside of established cinematic tropes. That brings us to Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli’s unflinchingly grotesque “Violation,” which hammers the bluntest of female gazes into the rape-revenge thriller. Rich in sumptuous visuals that portend its nasty undercurrent,

You know something terrible is going to happen when the early moments of a film greets you with an obvious reference to “The Shining” — in the case of the time-and-memory-twisting psychological horror “Violation,” the bird’s-eye view of a lone car, creeping ahead on a narrow road through dense trees, accompanied by a screechy score. What you won’t realize in the hair-raising feature debut by filmmaking duo Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli is just how much worse things will turn out to be than what this signposting might prepare you for.
A chamber piece with the existential mood of Lars von Trier, as well as a trope-defying revenge thriller with a mounting sense of terror, the dismembering, blood-draining frights of “Violation” — from tense familial grudges to an awful case of sexual assault and gaslighting that leads to brutal vengeance — aren’t easy to shake or describe.

We’re often told growing up that every story has two sides so that we can learn how to put ourselves into another’s shoes and see whether actions we thought were harmless actually did cause harm. That doesn’t mean you can’t project the sentiments onto adult situations too, though. Especially when they deal with memory. Take Miriam (Madeleine Sims-Fewer) and Greta (Anna Maguire) for example—two sisters who used to do everything together in their youth. When the topic of teenage injustice first arrives in conversation, their anecdote is colored as Big Sis defending the honor of Little Sis. When it comes up a second time, however, Greta reminds Miriam that she specifically asked her not to do what she did because of the consequences that did ultimately arise.

Screen Anarchy has an exclusive image from the film to share with you this morning. From left to right is Anna Maguire and Sims-Fewer. Sims-Fewer herself achingly portrays the film’s principal psyche, Miriam, a woman treading water in an unhappy marriage who hopes to find solace in a weekend reunion with her estranged younger sister, Greta (Anna Maguire), at a secluded cottage estate. Along with their respective husbands, Miriam’s brooding partner Caleb (Obi Abili) and Greta’s affable Dylan (Jesse Lavercombe), they find themselves navigating a minefield of one another’s sensitivies and histories, culminating in a traumatic series of betrayals —...

Obi Abili, the British-Nigerian star of the upcoming Curacao slave revolt action/drama Tula, The Revolt, just wrapped shooting in Argentina, on what will be his next film, The Rules of The Game, directed by the UK’s Ed McGown - his feature film debut. Abili is member of a cast that features Jack Gordon, Jack Doolan, Charlie Bewley and Mike Noble. Details on what the film, which is based on an award-winning short film, is about exactly are sparse, other than this one-line cryptic description that calls it an adventure film about the perfect revenge gone wrong. So it's not a remake of Jean Renoir's 1939 classic of the same name. The script was penned by Sam...
