Currant

About This Movie

Currant is an interesting blend of comedy that weaves together the absurdity of commerce with a quirky protagonist. The saleswoman's rise to power feels almost satirical, poking fun at ambition and greed. There's this offbeat tone throughout that keeps you guessing, like you’re not quite sure if you should laugh or just shake your head. The pacing has its own rhythm, sometimes meandering, but it works well with the themes of self-importance and entitlement. Performances are, well, a bit uneven but that adds to its charm. Practical effects are charmingly low-fi, bringing a certain warmth to the absurd scenarios that unfold. It has a distinctive vibe that's hard to pin down, but it makes for a memorable watch, in its own peculiar way.
