SXSW Film Review: Gorgeous eco-drama about how a tiny beetle upends a town.

Canada's Okanagan Valley may look like a Bob Ross oil painting, but when a curious factory worker discovers an invasive beetle burrowed inside the stone fruit, things quickly become less than peachy keen.

One day while her coworkers are on break, peach grader Robin inspects a fuzzy fruit, splitting open a wormhole to reveal a nasty, crawling insect. When she shows the bug to her supervisor, he shrugs her off like it’s no big deal. But after a moth invasion in the winter left the agricultural industry in shambles, Robin’s not taking any chances, ultimately – if unintentionally – getting the mill shut down.

But although the narrative side lacks cohesion, the character creation exudes a strong sense of completeness. Sophie, with Glowicki’s unmatched understanding of her role’s motivations and nuances, is written with great attention to detail. Her sister, Laney, also encompasses a refreshing Gen-Z empathy and care. The bond between the two of them makes the somewhat dispassionate narrative take second precedence.
