Does music have a magic touch? In O'Dessa, a musical set in a post-apocalyptic world not so distant from the one that we are in, the main character believes that the only way to remedy the chaos is by singing and playing her acoustic guitar. Sadie Sink stars as O'Dessa, the young girl determined to save the world from the hands of a wretched leader named Plutonovich (Murray Bartlett) by displaying her angelic vocals. This is the first time that the actress gets to showcase her music abilities on screen, which is an exciting moment given her Broadway background. She will also head back to Broadway to perform in an upcoming play, entitled John Proctor Was a Villain, premiering later this month. While you wait to watch Sink as she returns to the stage, here is everything you need to know about her latest film, which is premiering very soon.
Before coming out on streaming, the musical was part of the lineup for this year's edition of SXSW. The week-long festival, set in Austin, Texas, held the world premiere of O'Dessa on Saturday, March 8. Those who can't make it to the screening that day still have the chance to watch it at SXSW on Wednesday, March 12.
Despite debuting at SXSW, the film won't get a theatrical release. Although many would welcome the opportunity to watch this rock opera on the big screen, it will instead go directly to streaming, arriving on Hulu as of Thursday, March 20.
