VOD: Pixie (dir: Barnaby Thompson, 2020)

"She won't just break you.  She'll take a Kalashnikov to your heart."

Two rather naive Irish losers/best friends find themselves way out of their depth when they get embroiled in drug-dealing and a criminal feud and go on the run with the alluring and more-wordly Pixie in this slight but funny film.  Playing like a Martin McDonough movie but without the lacerating darkness, Pixie proves to be a wild and silly ride, with the chemistry of the three leads working well (and the best performance by Ben Hardy) and a delirious mix of effective verbal and sight gags that is most entertaining.
