Porcupine

I thought this was a sweet film. It's not a big studio production and they didn't spend a lot of money on sets but I did enjoy it. The script was lacking and at times I could have used more of it. The actors were really, really good. That Emily Kuroda was excellent as. Sunny. I think everyone knows a Sunny... Jenna was amazing, of course, and then there was, Robert Hunger-Buhler as Otto. Pretty sure we all know someone very similar to him. Then there's the kids... and quite a bit of life stuff that happens. I won't spoil it. I did think the script could have been better and that the editing could have been tighter. I also think it could have been shorter. As I said, I enjoyed it. It's not big budget but you get to see some familiar faces and some fine acting.

This is a film that doesn't attempt to be great, but instead becomes great through the unique characters introduced in the film. Otto is introduced as a recursive and almost hostile character, mellowed out in time by a stellar, struggling Audrey. This film is simple: Audrey is a late 30's struggling woman looking for something to fill the void so apparent in her life. Her search eventually leads her to a diverse family with a very strong willed and well-acted Otto, who himself discovers he had been missing something in his life as essential as what Audrey was after. Jena Malone was very good here, showing an award-status and glorious performance that isn't loud or obnoxious, but rather quiet, somber, humble. This film may not be for everyone, but for me this film demonstrates a uniqueness that can't be missed, accompanied by solid acting talent. 9/10.

I can only really fault the film on the fact it raises these questions direct in the storyline, and leaves viewers in the end wanting. Though it may be the case those questions are answered just by the final scene, though abstract. (Cut to credits). It was a nice watch, a polished little peep-show into some very different peoples' lives thrown together through wanting, or needing, maybe both. Where it excels is not getting bogged down in attempting to fill in all the characters involved, but zooms in specifically on the one relationship. The bond needs no confusion added with support characters needing any more than a background focus in events..
