Tessa Thompson has become an icon. Interest in her work came with her epic film Dear White People and now she’s a Valkyrie in Thor, heart-breaking in Annihilation, and OH MY GOD THAT JANELLE MONAE MUSIC VIDEO.

Ahem.

Anyway, we love Thompson and all the work she does so we’re excited for that to continue with Furlough.

Also starring Whoppi Goldberg and Melissa Leo, the film revolves around a corrections officer who has to take a prison to see her dying mother.

A sweet and tender comedy, the female fronted film could be epic. What do you think?

Furlough is out later this year.
