Jessica says: “What. A. Delight. Coming in at a tight 90 minutes, this punchy coming of age comedy is FULL of heart. Such a great exploration of how art can help us explore the parts of ourselves we didn’t know were part of us. An underrated indie for sure.
“I watched this because I was at the screening of THE PLAGUE for Fall Focus. Holy cow, Everett Blunck is a STAR for sure.
“Laks mentioned in another thread that a theme for 2025 should be excellent child actors, and I agree. Five out of five cats!!!“
Diane replies: “Thanks for the rec, Jessica! I just watched GRIFFIN. Not so keen on the script, but Everett Blunck is so appealing, with the comedy and the pathos. Looking forward to THE PLAGUE to see more of him.”
