Gander Man

About This Movie

Gander Man is a curious blend of absurdity and melancholy. You’ve got this college dropout, right? He’s grappling with grief and somehow morphs into a goose—like, literally. The film plays with themes of identity and loss, wrapped in a surreal atmosphere that feels both whimsical and poignant. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it mirrors the protagonist's internal struggle, making it a thoughtful exploration. Practical effects are surprisingly effective, bringing a unique charm to the goose transformation without relying on heavy CGI. The performances are sincere, especially in moments where the weight of existence is palpable beneath the comedy. It’s distinctive, for sure, in a way that sticks with you, even if it’s a bit off the beaten path.

Gander Man isn't widely circulated, making it somewhat of a hidden gem for collectors. It has seen limited releases, with a few indie festival showings, and its scarcity makes it a curious find for those intrigued by unconventional narratives. Interest seems to be growing among niche collectors who appreciate films that challenge traditional storytelling, especially with such a quirky premise.
