The Toss

About This Movie

So, 'The Toss' is this odd little piece from 2017 that really dives into the psyche of a young boy, Eoin, who's got this obsession with sweets. The atmosphere feels a bit claustrophobic, especially in the dorm setting, and it gives off this mischievous vibe as he schemes to get his hands on some candy. The pacing is interesting, shifting from comedic to slightly tense as he confronts the Headmaster and navigates the 'toss'. There’s something kind of charming about its simplicity, plus the practical effects, though minimal, are surprisingly effective. It stands out for its unique take on childhood desires and the lengths one might go to for a taste of forbidden treats.

'The Toss' isn't widely circulated, which makes it a bit of a gem for collectors. It had a limited release, so original copies are harder to find, especially any special editions. The film’s unique premise and execution have garnered a small but dedicated interest among niche collectors, particularly those who appreciate offbeat narratives. Keep an eye out for any festival circuit releases or digital versions; they pop up now and then, but good luck finding a physical copy.
