Shopping Cart Boy

About This Movie

Shopping Cart Boy is this offbeat drama that meanders through the mundane life of a supermarket worker. The pacing is kind of languid, giving you time to soak in the oddities of his relationship with a shopping cart. It sounds weird, and it is. There's a rawness here, a tangible feeling of loneliness that the boy embodies. The performances are subtle, almost understated, but they really carry the weight of the narrative. The practical effects, if you can call them that, mainly revolve around the cart itself, which almost feels like a character. It’s distinctive for its exploration of connection in an increasingly disconnected world. Definitely a film that tries to find beauty in the bizarre, if you dig that sort of thing.
