Grown This Way

About This Movie

So, 'Grown This Way' is this quirky little comedy from 2014 that really plays around with the idea of anthropomorphic vegetables. You've got a carrot, full of bravado, getting into a spat with a carrot cake in a garden setting. The atmosphere is light and whimsical, with a kind of playful edge that makes it hard to pin down. The pacing is breezy, fitting for a short feature that doesn’t overstay its welcome. I found the practical effects surprisingly charming; it’s all very DIY with a low-budget feel but it adds to its distinctiveness. The performances, though simple, have a sort of earnestness, which gives it a unique character—it’s all about the little interactions and the absurdity of the situation.
