Anoraks

About This Movie

Anoraks (2020) is a quirky little comedy short that takes you on a peculiar journey to Tintagel, the supposed birthplace of King Arthur. It centers on this mismatched pair of siblings who are everything but synchronized—think sibling rivalry mixed with a shared obsession. The film’s atmosphere is light and playful, with a pace that fits the wandering nature of their pilgrimage. The humor here feels genuine, stemming from their bickering and the absurdity of their mission, rather than relying on forced gags. Practical effects are minimal but serve the narrative well, keeping things grounded. Performances are solid, capturing that disjointed dynamic really well. It’s distinct for its focus on the nuances of sibling relationships amidst a backdrop of historical reenactment.
