About This Movie

So, 'Are You Hungry?' is this quirky comedy from 2019 that dives into the messy relationship between a single mom and her adopted son. It brings a certain awkward charm, you know? The pacing feels a bit erratic, which some might find off-putting, but I think it adds to the chaos of her misguided attempts to connect with him. The performances, especially the mom's, have this rawness that captures the whole misunderstanding vibe really well. There’s an interesting mix of practical effects used to highlight the comical disasters she creates with her assumptions. The film explores themes of identity and belonging in a way that feels genuine, even if the execution gets a bit wild at times.
