Wishes

About This Movie

Wishes is a quirky little gem that dives deep into the themes of loneliness and self-discovery. Carrie's character really resonates with those who have felt like outsiders, and the introduction of Jeanie brings a wild, unexpected twist. The humor is quite offbeat, and the pacing often mirrors Carrie's scattered thoughts as she navigates her wishes. The portrayal of Jeanie as an 8th-century Macedonian figure adds a unique flavor that's not often seen, blending historical absurdity with contemporary problems. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm that contributes to the film's low-budget appeal. Overall, it’s a film that embodies a peculiar blend of fantasy and reality, making it stand out in its own right.

Wishes was released in 2014, but it hasn’t made much noise in the collector’s circuit, which is surprising given its distinctive premise and character dynamics. There are few known physical releases, making it somewhat scarce; it’s mostly circulated as a digital title. Collectors may find it worthwhile for its offbeat humor and unique character development, especially if they appreciate films that challenge conventional storytelling.
