Really Surprised!
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
A true life fairy tale that explores what so many people experience, the odd couple in a new town wanting desperately to make friends and become accepted, but find themselves lured by the wicked side of those around them to do things they think they must do, or cannot do and the consequences that human beings can lead others into when they enjoy making them unhappy rather than choosing love and the unhappiness and and truths that this brings home. Remarkable debut for someone who had never directed on this scale before and a thought provoking movie everyone should see, especially parents and schoolchildren.

Pin Cushion was nowhere near as good as reviews said it was, the main leads were literally just awful and they were phoning it in, the characters and the storyline was even worse and the overall movie as a whole? was a terrific and gigantic mess of a picture. (0/10)
The Dop must be very talented on this with some great shots, as I said filmed very well, the sound was good, the actors did an awesome job with a great story, however I give it 6/10 because this film seemed to have no middle start and end we're good but I found myself looking at my watch half way through, I have seen a lot worse and hats off to anyone getting this far.
A story told with poetry and colours, about the love between a mother, her daughter and their efforts to fit-in, at the expense of valuing their own unique identity. A story of mean bullyism and peer pressure which remains cruel and hypocritical at any stage of life. A script that resonates well with our contemporary, conforming society.
