Pumpkin Call

About This Movie

Pumpkin Call (2020) has a unique blend of romance and the strange isolation brought about by social distancing. The film dives into CC's emotional landscape after a breakup, capturing that almost tangible feeling of loneliness and yearning. The interplay between her and Ken, the young trainer, feels genuine, almost like a slow dance through their shared vulnerabilities. There's something quietly charming about how the movie unfolds, with a pacing that allows the audience to breathe in the awkwardness and sweetness of budding connection. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve a purpose in enhancing the story's intimate moments. It's that blend of realism and emotion that sets it apart from more formulaic entries in the genre.
