Asia Kate Dillon stars as Cass, a 30-something who hustles jobs as a server, nanny, and party drug dealer to make rent on their tiny San Francisco apartment. When Cass agrees to babysit Ari (Ridley Asha Bateman), the 11-year-old daughter of Kalli (Louisa Krause), their crush from work, Cass hopes it might lead to romance. When Kalli fails to return, Cass's memories of their own difficult childhood begin to resurface. Feeling alone yet bonded together, Cass and Ari race to find Kalli and the power to heal.

Simple in its presentation, but disguises numerous layers to its story... which eventually unravel, and build to an emotional wallop.

Film Obsessive

Outerlands is a truly special piece of filmmaking— immersive, intuitive, and illuminating, a reminder of the empathy that should be at the forefront of all storytelling.

Loud and Clear Reviews

What’s notable about Outerlands is how writer-director Oxman turns San Francisco into a character of its own, and a deeply complex one mirroring the gentrification that has ramped up in recent years in real life.

Rated: 3.5/5

James Kleinmann

The Queer Review

It is an affectingly understated, delicate film and Dillon, with their beautifully expressive face and underlying emotional intensity, proves to be a perfect fit for Oxman's style.

Rated: 4/5

Screen Rant

Outerlands isn’t just a story about navigating through life after childhood trauma. It’s an experience of human connectivity and belonging.

Rated: 7/10
