Genres & Description

Action Comedy Drama

6.2 / 10

Anna is stuck: she's approaching 30, living like a hermit in her mum's garden shed and wondering why the suffragettes ever bothered. She spends her days making videos using her thumbs as actors - thumbs that bicker about things like whether Yogi Bear is a moral or existential nihilist. But Anna doesn't show these videos to anyone and no one knows what they are for. A week before her birthday her Mum serves her an ultimatum - she needs to move out of the shed, get a haircut that doesn't put her gender in question and stop dressing like a homeless teenager. Naturally, Anna tells her Mum to "back the f-off". However, when her school friend comes to visit, Anna's self-imposed isolation becomes impossible to maintain. Soon she is entangled with a troubled eight year old boy obsessed with Westerns, and the local estate agent whose awkward interpersonal skills continually undermine his attempts to seduce her.

I put off watching it for about 6 months after it was released. Then one night I was like, what the hell I think i'll watch it. Since then I haven't stopped talking about it. On every Doctor Who group I belong to I posted Pre Jodie Doctor Who photos of her and her TARDIS aka The Shed. Here is my latest from 15 minutes ago... Fiona: Why you living in here? Anna: I just needed some space. Fiona: There's not a lot of space in here. Anna: It's a lot bigger on the inside. Ma: It's not normal living in my shed at your age. Anna: It's not a shed, it's my TARDIS @BrettGoldstein: I've got something for you. - @Wednesday, October 17, 2018 10:35 PM

Just watched this movie last night, I was certain Sarah Smart played Anna. Jody and Sarah are very similar. - @Tuesday, May 30, 2017 11:23 PM
