The Keeping Room

In the waning days of the Civil War, with her family's menfolk fighting for the Confederacy, Augusta (Brit Marling) had her challenges maintaining the homestead with only younger sister Louise (Halle Steinfeld) and lone slave Mad (Muna Otaru) for help. When they find themselves stalked by a pair of rapacious Union soldiers (Sam Worthington, Kyle Soller), their struggle for survival takes on harrowing dimensions.
