Written, directed and compose by Geremy Jasper (known for his 2017 drama Patti Cakes), O’Dessa—now streaming on Hulu— is a true sci-fi rock opera that feels like it’s straight out of the 1980s. Sink, best known for playing Max Mayfield on Stranger Things, gets to flex her impressive vocal skills as O’Dessa, a 19-year-old girl with a destiny to save her dying world. On her epic journey, O’Dessa encounters both true love (a fellow performer named Euri, played Kelvin Harrison Jr.) and true evil (a sadistic game show host named Plutonovich, played by Murray Bartlett). The plot may be well-worn, but O’Dessa makes up for it with plenty of style.
