Carps

About This Movie

Carps is a curious blend of comedy and drama that really leans into the absurdity of life. Dana’s journey is both heartbreaking and hilariously off-kilter, especially with her coworker Dobromil, who has this genuine obsession with grass carp. It’s not every day you see a film that manages to balance themes of loss and redemption with such quirky humor. The pacing feels reflective, allowing moments of silence to breathe, making the dialogue hit harder. The performances are authentic, especially from the leads; you can feel their chemistry. Plus, the practical effects used for some of the carp scenes add a layer of charm that CGI just can’t touch. It’s distinctive, for sure, in a way that might just resonate with those looking for something different.
