Plot: Toni, a tomboyish boxer, lands a spot on an after-school drill team in the West End community of Cincinnati. She eagerly absorbs routines, masters drills, and even pierces her own ears to fit in. It’s the joy of her first friendships and her discovery of dance. Shortly after Toni joins the team, most of the girls on the team suffer from episodes of fainting, swooning, and shaking in a seemingly uncontrollable catharsis. Nobody can explain the mysterious outbreak. These fits soon transform into a rite of passage as the trauma draws the other girls closer together. Caught between her need for control and her desire for acceptance, Toni must decide how far she will go to embody her new ideals.

The Fits has clear directorial intention, but the link between the two main themes of the movie is not clear
I really like the direction of The Fits – each scene serves a clear purpose with no filler, and the focus is narrow and specific, providing a clear atmosphere for our main character rather than trying to show every element of her life. It seems like a solid childhood/coming of age story of a girl raised in an intense boxing culture and then finds a dance culture she loves, but the other main theme of the fits does not seem to relate. It seems like a socioeconomic point – that these young black girls in the dance troupe are the only ones contracting the fits, so people care less about it, but even that point isn’t clearly made. What does it reveal about Toni that she is getting into the dance culture and seems emotionally unaffected by others getting the fits? It’s well shot and I love the tight feel of the film, but I need a little more clarity in the key ideas of the film to be fully satisfied.
Teen pregnancy, and the sociological fits that ensue.
Don’t think too hard. This film is about wanting to fit in as an adolescent. And not fully understanding what peers older than you are going through, but wanting to be accepted regardless.Consider the first fit, the first “episode,” as real. The leader, Legs, was PREGNANT, from Donte. Maybe she overworked herself dancing? Complications? Dehydration? But she was definitely, absolutely, pregnant… and she then had a seizure, an episode, whatever it was. Chances are it was the only sincere “fit” in the film.
Imagine each subsequent fit to be each girl’s attempt to follow suit. To be like their “leader.” The girl they look up to each day while dancing, the girl they follow, for their own reasons.
Toni’s dialogue is all you need to know: “Maia wanted it to happen to her.” So it did. And, eventually… Toni wanted it too.
It’s a surreal film. Obviously Toni isn’t going to get pregnant, but her mind doesn’t fully understand pregnancy yet, so she throws her own unique fit. Just as each of her friends threw their own. She creates a fantasy of being accepted. She floats, she flails, she falls, and she’s caught by her friends. She fits.
