BLOCKS
Bridget Moloney
BLOCKS follows Ashleigh, who is consumed by parenthood to the point of sickness. When her illness manifests as vomiting plastic toy blocks, she as to find a way to set some boundaries.
Thirst-quenching! I was parched for a new look at a never aging subject and it arrived with this film. A unique look at parenting using leggos as the star. Who knew? I dig the way this filmmaker's brain works. I had no idea where this was going but I was so intrigued that I might have followed her anywhere to find out. — Elle S (Programmer)
