The movie trailer of Director Alice Waddington’s feature film debut “Paradise Hills” is just dropped, and it looks great. The fact that a woman filmmaker brings in that many numbers of female characters in a strong woman-centric topic, makes it even more appealing.

Well, going by the societal pressure and expectation of family on girls or women, it even becomes more important to talk about gender equality and women empowerment. With this storyline, if this film has some larger message, it is indeed a good idea.
The film also stars Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil) and Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) among others in prominent roles.
