The Fits is refined indie-cinema poetry and therefore is not for everyone. It is elegant and immersive, well acted, and beautifully shot on a single location; relying on these elements more than narrative or explaination, so don't try to find one.

The plot direction isn't very clear and I did feel there was a sense of isolation put across with the young girl shown expressing her love of dance, while mostly being on her own.

There is a somewhat spooky/eery sense when we see the other girls succumbing to the mysterious 'fits' the film is named after. However, it was frustrating that there didn't seem to be much in the way of answers given and it was left a bit open ended overall.
