2.5/4
The characters in this short-'n'-sweet documentary are straight outta "Fargo," in the best sense. Go to Full Review

Delightfully charming, the major flaw in the film is its length. Go to Full Review
John Gholson Birth.Movies.Death. 03/17/2014
By being about a competition, even an unusual one, Wicker Kittens gets a big injection of sports movie vigor. Go to Full Review

07/08/2019 So much fun! Totally engrossing sports documentary... about competitive jigsaw puzzling. See more 02/25/2015 Wicker Kittens is a regional culture documentary of competitive jigsaw puzzling that would be better if edited down to 30 minutes. The sound is problematic because the music is toxically intrusive and is thematically/stylistically inappropriate hard rock fingernails on the blackboard--totally out of whack! Where is the polka music, the Barbershop quartet, the Sweet Adelines, the Dixieland band, the ballpark electric organ, the carousel music, the and/or other local thematic music contest/performance sound mix? Even Bach would be appropriate at times. The characters are interesting and the visual exploration of puzzle collectors is an eye-opener. This film could rate above a 2 if the sound could be remastered thematically and make the dialogue intelligible throughout. I could imagine Wicker Kittens on the Minnesota Public TV "Independent Lens" with the changes mentioned above. As is, you may want to turn the sound down or off and make up your own dialogue. Reviewed at the Frozen River Film Festival in Winona, Minnesota on Feb. 21, 2015. See more 03/12/2014 Captures the innocence of obsession, friendship, competition and midwestern values. It's also a blast to watch. See more Read all reviews
