HEALED
Meghan Weinstein; 2021; USA; 92 min

HEALED is a psychological thriller that follows former pop icon, Jazz (Shantell Yasmine Abeydeera, actor and writer of HEALED), and her pregnant wife, Olivia (Emily Goss), as they embark on a holistic retreat at a remote location. The loving couple plans to disconnect and unwind. Upon arrival, Georgia (Guinevere Turner, Go Fish, Watermelon Woman), their host and renowned mindfulness expert, outlines the rules for their stay and a strict schedule they must follow. This includes offbeat therapy sessions, yoga, and meditation through a wellness app created by Georgia. Rest and reflection are heavily emphasized. However, just as Jazz has suspected, things quickly take a turn for the worse.

Georgia holds one-on-one sessions with Jazz and Olivia, extracting vulnerable information about the other woman. She suggests outings and orchestrates mildly dangerous situations, compromising the couple’s security in themselves and in one another. At Georgia's hand, meditation turns to hypnotization using a new “app” which turns to separation and we discover who and what is behind all of this—Find out in this edgy, visceral, and thrilling film.
