Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for people who need a good giggle and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 20 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Growing up in a religious cult, Jackie and Amelia, now in their late thirties, meet up once a year at Amelia's mother's grave to reconnect and talk about life. 'Are we broken?' they ask themselves, only to decide after a topless escapade through their old sect, that they are only bent. Bent is a short film about those life long friendships that thankfully keep us feeling normal.
