Mishka (2017) User Reviews

Great acting but got a little unnecessary with the end

[was-51855 · 8/10 · 1 April 2021]

The acting especially with Matia and a great film overall the 1 part that i didn't like was the ending.

Spoiler alert!

The father of the baby turns out to be mishka's father now i know it's a serious problem but i would of liked it more if the boyfriend was the father, that would of sent less tingles down my back. Also it could also teach a lesson on younger boys saying that even though you said yes, if you are below 18 or whatever your age of consent is in your country, it is still rape.

Horrifyingly believable.

Mishka is a girl dealing with a problem no thirteen-year-old should have to face. Watching her struggle, with no support from anyone, not even someone to talk with, is heart-rending.

Filmed in Canada with age-appropriate actress Matia Jackett as the lead, "Mishka" shows us excellent acting throughout. The result is a hyper-realistic stark contrast between Mishka's horrible situation and the happy, normal lives of her friends. The uneasy mood is enhanced by restrained dialog between main characters, and the technical production of this short movie is excellent, on a par with any feature-length film.

About the ending, I'll only say that it is believable, but could have used some explanation or foreshadowing.

"Mishka" is not even slightly enjoyable, in the usual sense of the word, but it's highly worthwhile.

Really worth watching

Great movie and very realistic. Teenage pregnancy and child abuse are always delicate topics and not mostly well portrayed.

Best Film About Mishka

The movie was 10/10 good to watch and tells a story about teen pregnancy that's been happening everywhere and i love watching this film and learning something from the story as well.
