Featured review
A good short film, but a miss for Pen15
It's a really well made 30 minute French New Wave inspired story. Full of heart and provides a lot of depth to a character who is usually overshadowed by everyone around her. (Which is the point of the episode.)
But it's a bit of a disappointment as a Pen15 episode. I know there's a trend in TV comedies to have one episode per season explore a tertiary character - Dave and Mythic Quest have some amazing examples - but for me this episode doesn't scratch the itch I expect from the series. Pen15 is side-splittingly funny, even at it's more brutal and most tender. But this episode trades the comedy for a character study.
I can appreciate it for what it is, but I have to give it a 6/10 for its context as an episode of the overall series.
