Woodshock
Short description
Woodshock follows Theresa, a young woman in California who works at a medical marijuana dispensary run by Keith. After a deep personal loss, she is caught between her grief and the reality-bending effects of a powerful cannabinoid drug, and as she keeps using it, hallucinations and paranoia pull her further from the world around her.
The film was released in September 2017 and marked the feature directing debut of Kate Mulleavy and Laura Mulleavy, the fashion designers behind the label Rodarte, who also wrote the screenplay. Kirsten Dunst plays Theresa, with Joe Cole, Pilou Asbæk, Steph DuVall, Jack Kilmer and Susan Traylor in supporting roles. It runs 101 minutes and was made for about 5 million dollars.
Reception was not strong. On IMDb the film holds 4.2 out of 10 from around 2,600 votes, and on TMDB it sits at 4.4 from roughly 79 votes, indicating limited engagement there. A critics' rating of 4.3 from 55 reviews places professional assessment close to the audience scores, with both leaning negative.
What's left behind the scenes
- Some episodes of the film were shot in the city of Arcata in Humboldt County, California, where the Mallivi sisters, the film's directors, grew up.
- During the scene of Teresa's levitation, actress Kirsten Dunst was lifted by cables to a height of over 30 meters. She later said that the sensations and the overall impression were indescribable.
