Pin Cushion (2017)
7/10
The White Crow
5 December 2018
This is a sad film. A loner, disabled mom and her daughter move to a new town for a fresh start, but they are just too weird and don't fit in. Depressed, low self-esteemed mom is just heartbreaking to watch unravel. The teen daughter tries to fit in, to no avail. It seems as these desperate attempts at socializing just don't work. As if when you're stigmatized the stigma lasts forever. Even the light at the end of the tunnel doesn't ease the pain and sadness of a tragedy that came before. A well made indie film that leaves the bitter taste, as much as you want to look into a brighter future with a cautious smile. Damn, this one ruined my night.
