Herd Leader

About This Movie

Herd Leader is a quirky little comedy that plays with themes of loneliness and familial pressure in a rather light-hearted way. The story follows Clara, who inherits a rather unique pet after her aunt's passing, which sets off a chain of events that prompts her to reevaluate her life choices. The pacing is deliberately slow at times, allowing for moments of introspection and humor to mingle. It’s not your typical laugh-out-loud comedy; instead, it weaves in a gentle absurdity that keeps things interesting. The performances, though not from big names, have a charming authenticity that makes you root for Clara's journey. The practical effects used for her pet also add an unexpected layer to the film’s humor.
