Human and humorous, this character driven film packs many layers of family dynamics into its twelve minutes. In those twelve minutes, the film also achieves a satisfying narrative arc. Although there is certainly enough story-line in Frieda's Turn to merit a longer format, the director does a really nice job of boiling it down to its poetic essence. And combining that essence with some laugh out loud moments. It is tempting to go on about this film, but getting into more specifics would ruin the experience of seeing it for yourself. One last thing that can be said is that it is refreshing to see an "older" woman in a lead role and Leslie Simms as Frieda is fun to watch. See this movie and enjoy it!
