Audience Member Highly acclaimed, multi award-winning short from director Andrea Arnold, follows Zoe a young mother and her four children as they struggle to live from day-to-day in Dartford, England. Further complications arise when she is asked out on a date by an old friend. Realistic and thought-provoking drama. 18 January 2022 | Rating 8/10 | 🇬🇧 MUBI Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It's refreshing to see a film so raw and brutally realistic as Wasp. There is no Hollywood glamour in this. The lives of poor and working people in England are presented with their flaws on full display. The acting and the story are fantastic, but it's the quick cuts and close-ups that make it feel visceral. There are times when the direction seems to be headed towards something so terrible that it would be nausea inducing, but it never goes too far. Wasp finds a sweet spot between the mundanity of life and its uncomfortable truths. A powerful film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A raw and powerful short film about a young woman struggling against responsibility and economic reality. The sequence the title refers to is particularly harrowing. Now I have to seek out "Fish Tank". Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Great short by Andrea Arnold of Fish Tank fame. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked this even more than Fish Tank, mostly for the exceptional on-hand camera, and its even greater intensity. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A great short film, you can already see Andrea Arnolds skill at capturing emotion and character here.
