Ever felt like an outcast? A new film from co-writer and director Conor Allyn (No Man's Land) brings us back to the 1890s to tell a story with surprisingly relatable themes that modern moviegoers might just connect with. Amber Heard (The Rum Diary) plays an alienist doctor in the film In the Fire, which is set in South America and features a standout performance by a sort of Damien (or Antichrist) in training — a young boy accused of having demonic powers. Heard travels to the remote plantation to treat the boy, who has been ostracized by his religious community. Characters like Florence Pugh's in The Wonder might come to mind, but In the Fire is certainly a different enough tale.
