Small Golf

About This Movie

Small Golf really captures the niche world of competitive minigolf. There's this almost absurd seriousness with which these players approach the game. You’ve got Maja, who's young and driven, juxtaposed against Jörg, this seasoned pro who’s seen it all. The atmosphere in Amriswil has this quirky charm, the sound of putters hitting balls, the chatter of intense competitors—it’s all there. The pacing ebbs and flows nicely, giving you a real feel for the tension and camaraderie. It’s fascinating how they explore themes of ambition and rivalry, all while staying rooted in such a seemingly trivial sport. The performances feel genuine, almost documentary-like, which adds to its authenticity. It’s definitely a unique lens on a sport many might overlook.
