An odd one. Bit of a pollywog stew with emphasis on the pollywog. An anxiety ridden bloke connects with a relatable but equal parts Benny + Joon’ish / Ed Scissorhandish could’a been milf. Shes got a unique relationship with her son - unique enuff to say this film got single motherhood more right than the best “straight” films on the sub. One part romantic comedy, two parts avante garde light, half a part magical realism. Cool ending too. Felt like life.

In the wrong hands this could have been a downbeat kitchen sink drama. But in the hands of writer, director, actress Piper, it becomes something quirkier, brighter, and really quite enjoyable.
