It's Not Custard is this quirky little dark comedy that plays with some surreal fantasy elements. Louise, our acne-ridden protagonist, faces a double whammy of teasing from her sister and classmates, and the film really captures that teenage angst with a humorous twist. The pacing is a bit off at times but it adds to that oddball charm. Practical effects are used in some interesting ways when her wishes start to manifest, bringing a unique visual flair that feels fresh. The performances, especially from the lead, are quite engaging; they manage to find that balance between the absurd and the painfully relatable. It’s a film that sticks with you not just for its themes of bullying and self-acceptance but for its overall eccentric vibe as well.
