What critics are saying about Memoir of a Snail

Its bleakness can feel unrelenting at times, leaving you wondering how a film like this could possibly have a happy ending. Yet, Elliot manages to find laughs and light-heartedness in the small moments of his latest venture. Whether it be Pinky’s various misadventures earlier in life or the books that Grace, Gilbert, and Percy can be found reading throughout the film with very amusingly named pirate-themed erotica.While all the heavy themes are still ever-present, Memoir of a Snail is also largely a movie about having hope, even in the cruelest of circumstances, a message that feels universal.
