Having been a long-time fan of the Zellner Bros.' work, I was pretty eager to see their latest feature. Needless-to-say, KID-THING did not disappoint. I loved every second of it, and can't wait to see it again!
Newcomer, Sydney Aguirre, gives a break-out performance as Annie -- a friendless, essentially parent-less, 11 year old who roams around her east-Texas town wreaking havoc. One day, while hanging out alone in the woods, Annie comes across a woman at the bottom of a well (voiced by Hollywood legend, Susan Tyrrell). The cast is rounded out by the Zellner Bros. themselves (who are delightful as usual), and a host of interesting characters -- a catatonic, young birthday girl, a blind, backwards-guitar playing singer, lots and lots of farm animals (alive and dead), etc.
I can't recommend this film enough. Check it out if you get the chance!
