The great news of The Wrath of Becky is that it’s a worthy sequel to the original. Lulu Wilson was terrific in the titular role, and she continues that momentum with The Wrath of Becky. Filmmakers Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote talked to CinemAddicts co-host Eric Holmes about the sequel, which was penned in just three and a half weeks!
Taking place two years after the events of Becky, The Wrath of Becky has the titular protagonist (Lulu Wilson) living with with a kindhearted elderly woman (Denise Burse). Becky works at a local diner, and her evenings are spent with her dog Diego and playing scrabble with Elena.
White supremecists called the Noble Men (Michael Sirow, Matt Angel, Aaron Dalla Villa) attack Elena’s residence. Becky, all of 16, is focused on revenge even if the odds are stacked against her. Sean William Scott is Darryl, the leader of this faction, with Courtney Gains playing his right-hand man Twig.
