Mimi is one of those quirky gems that takes you on an unexpected ride, literally. This absurd comedy leans heavily into the road movie genre, but it’s not your typical journey. It’s a funny exploration of a driver's misguided affection for a car, embodied by Mimi herself. The pacing feels reflective of the open road, with enough absurdities sprinkled in to keep you chuckling. The themes of longing and misplaced love echo throughout, presenting a unique twist on the love story trope. Practical effects give it a certain charm, while the performances breathe life into an otherwise ridiculous premise. It's distinctive in how it uses a car not just as a vehicle, but as a character in its own right.
