Parades

About This Movie

So, 'Parades' is this quirky 2017 comedy that dives into some heavy themes despite its lighthearted exterior. Margot's journey is kind of a wild ride, really—she's grappling with disillusionment and turns to this mythical carp for guidance, which is a unique twist. The pacing has this sort of ebb and flow that mirrors the lake's serene yet troubled waters. The performances, though understated, really pull you in—there's a certain charm to them. And the atmosphere? It's oddly whimsical yet tinged with melancholy. Those practical effects, especially involving the carp, are interesting too. It’s not your standard fare, and that’s what makes it stand out in a sea of comedies.
