Pooka!

Pooka! Is currently streaming in the US on Hulu, and it rewards the patience it asks of you. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. 129 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Nyasha Hatendi's performance alone is worth the time investment. Put it on tonight on Hulu and see for yourself.

There is a reason Pooka! Keeps coming up in conversation. Pooka! Trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. A struggling actor gets a holiday season job as a Christmas character in a plush suit to promote the hottest toy of the year, Pooka; he slowly develops two personalities—one when he's in the suit and one that's outside it. Nyasha Hatendi and Latarsha Rose lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2018. The performances in Pooka! Do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Pooka! Is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Nyasha Hatendi carries the material with a performance that rewards close attention. Worth starting sooner rather than later.

Pooka! was released in 2018, directed by Nacho Vigalondo. The full 83-minute film is available to watch now.
