Blush is one exhausting film to watch. There's enough material crammed in here to make a whole mini series. Sometimes it felt like I was stuck on an out-of-control spinning fairground ride, unsure what direction I was heading but enjoying myself despite the occasional bout of nauseous dizziness.

The film jumps from one idiosyncratic character to the next, and we barely have enough time to process one scene before the next one begins. This doesn't exactly help with getting to know them, but it does mean you'll never get bored anticipating what random craziness will unfurl next.

So if dysfunctional relationships, midlife crises and obnoxious teenagers are your kinda jam, you could do a lot worse than to check out this oddball indie drama. For once though, it would be nice to watch a film featuring a cute cat where it doesn't end up on it's last life by the end.

By my own personally cat-alogued statistics, felines die in 70% of the movies they feature in, whereas dogs survive in 0.05 in their pictures. This is blatant canine favouritism, and I demand a full and thorough enquiry right now.

You think I'm joking? Well I'm not. Get it done! 6/10.
