Writer-director Deborah Haywood makes her feature directorial debut with the surreal and whimsical mother-daughter nightmare Pin Cushion, driven by a singular vision and masterful control of a unique tone, which tiptoes the line of beauty and terror.
Haywood's formidable first feature is at once a ruthless dissection of cruelty, capturing the relentless torment of outcasts for the pleasure of self-styled superiors, and a warm evocation of an interdependent mother-daughter bond.
Haywood digs into her own teenage memories and unearths something eccentric, tragic and utterly unclassifiable.
It's not always an easy watch but it's a sensitive, assured film with characters you'll warm to and root for.
At its core, this is a story about bullying and mental illness and being disconnected from reality.
Taking a very dark turn late in the second act, Pin Cushion's eccentric craft-fair aesthetic is ultimately protective cushioning wrapped around a broken heart.
