The Crooked Mile

About This Movie

The Crooked Mile is an intriguing blend of comedy and coming-of-age themes. It follows Anna, a nine-year-old girl with a singular focus: finding her father. The film has this almost whimsical tone, underscored by the gravity of her mother's illness. It's interesting how the narrative balances lighthearted moments with deeper emotional currents; Anna's journey feels both innocent and profound. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the quirky charm. The performances are solid, especially from the young lead, who carries the film's emotional weight. The practical effects used in some scenes lend a unique texture to the storytelling, making it distinct in a sea of early 2000s indie comedies. It’s a fascinating exploration of identity and familial bonds.
