She Monkeys (SE, 2011)

Unaware that this was a one-off, and having simply asked for 'one for the 18:40 show', soon realised that this wasn't the film I thought I had gotten a ticket for. It was well worth staying for though, and it's great when that happens.

She Monkeys is a reasonably stated, in places quite nicely shot, low-key 'slice of life' in a small nondescript Swedish town, centering around the attraction/rivalry between Emma and Cassandra, 2 teenage equine gymnasts. Evidence here of a new, original vision, and definitely deserving of a higher rating on IMDB.
