Jumbo might be more compelling as an idea than a complete viewing experience, but whatever this strikingly unusual love story lacks in narrative finesse, it makes up in originality. Read critic reviews

Merlant is radiant as a woman lit up by love.
February 26, 2021 | Full Review… -
From its opening moments lit by neon lights and set to the soundtrack of their gentle buzz, Jumbo marks a heady debut for writer-director Zoé Wittock.

Though curiously charming, Jumbo behaves like love at first sight that doesn't think about the consequences of the ardent now or the larger, long-term picture.
February 19, 2021 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… -
So will Jumbo take Jeanne's heart for a ride? And should we object to her sexuality if she's not hurting anyone? These questions, and more, abound in the out-there, but not-like-anything-else-out-there, "Jumbo."

First time writer-director Zoé Wittock takes an absurd idea and imbues it with such heart, soul, and beauty that you'll automatically look past the inherent ridiculousness. Instead, you'll simply absorb its glowing sense of wonder.

Jumbo stands stronger as a concept and an aesthetic than it does as a narrative, but if nothing else, it's certainly distinctive.
