Judy & Punch

About This Movie

Judy & Punch is a curious blend of dark comedy and tragedy set in the bizarre town of Seaside. The film has this gritty, almost whimsical atmosphere that captures the absurdity of its characters. The practical effects are all the more striking, especially in the puppet sequences, as they nod to the classic form while twisting it into something much darker. Mia Wasikowska delivers a strong performance, embodying Judy’s resilience and complexity, while Damon Herriman’s Punch is the embodiment of chaotic ambition. This film dives into themes of revenge and the duality of performance, offering a unique experience that lingers in the mind long after viewing.
