Kleptomom

About This Movie

Kleptomom, directed by Pola Beck, is this quirky comedy that dives into motherhood’s less glamorous aspects. Lucy, the lead, embodies that tension between societal expectations and personal freedom in a way that's both humorous and a bit dark. The pacing has a nice rhythm, balancing light-hearted moments with those that make you ponder. The performances are pretty engaging, particularly Lucy's portrayal of a woman on the edge – you can feel her desperation and thrill in her antics. The practical effects, especially in the stroller scenes, add a layer of absurdity that’s charming. The film explores themes of identity and rebellion against the mundane, making it distinctive in its unconventional take on parenting.
