Fanny

About This Movie

Fanny is an interesting take on the complexities of middle age, weaving both comedy and drama in a way that feels very relatable. The protagonist, Fanny, is sort of stuck in this monotonous loop, balancing her humdrum life with her mother's expectations and the shallow pursuits of those around her. The film captures this awkward tension well, especially when she encounters Marco, the new lifeguard, who stirs something within her. There's a certain charm to the way it explores themes of desire and societal norms, all while keeping a light-hearted tone. The performances feel authentic, grounded. The pacing, though a bit leisurely, allows for reflection, and you'd likely appreciate the small, practical moments that give it that offbeat vibe. Worth a watch for those who enjoy subtle storytelling.
