Pushover

About This Movie

So, Pushover is this quirky comedy-drama that centers on Nelly Bish, a character who's been sort of the underdog her whole life. The film captures that feeling of being overlooked, and the pacing feels just right—slow enough to let you soak in Nelly's world but fast enough to keep you engaged. What really stands out are the performances; they have this rawness that feels genuine, especially from the lead. There’s a certain charm in the practical effects they used, lending a tactile quality to the film that feels rare nowadays. It’s not just about the laughs; there’s a deeper undercurrent exploring themes of self-worth and opportunity.

Pushover has seen a few releases over the years, but it’s not exactly abundant on physical media, which makes it a bit of a treasure for collectors. Most copies you find are on VHS or DVD, with the latter being a bit more common but still not overly plentiful. Its offbeat narrative and character-driven focus might not land it in the limelight, but there’s definitely a niche audience that appreciates its unique charm and the performances. Those in the know often keep an eye out for any new formats or limited editions that might pop up.
