Chomel

About This Movie

So, Chomel – it’s this family flick from 2021, and while the director remains a mystery, the story feels pretty raw and personal. You have Mimi, this girl with a single dad, and loneliness just seeps through the screen. She brings home this cat, Chomel, which feels almost like a character in its own right. The pacing has this gentle rhythm, you know? It dives into issues of family dynamics and custody battles, but with this soft touch. The performances are sincere, especially from the dad, who really portrays that struggle with love and loss. There’s a warmth to it, but it doesn't shy away from tension as Mimi’s grandmother enters the picture. It’s distinctive in its approach to childhood loneliness and the bond we form with pets, all captured in a cozy, yet sometimes tense, atmosphere.
