‘Booger' Review: A Purrfectly Unexpected Exploration of Grief
This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.Film festivals like Sundance and TIFF may curate lists of Academy Award-winning hopefuls, but Fantasia has always delivered a slate of films that leave indelible marks on their audiences.
Booger is as gutsy as it is safe; always just toeing the line of what’s expected. And that, in its own right, feels right for the film. Grief may be an emotion that we all experience at different points throughout our life, but we all cope differently, and grief manifests in its own unique ways. In fact, the discord between how people grieve after a tragedy is a point of contention for Anna and Max as they reckon with Izzy’s death.
Glowicki is an exceptional lead as she navigates through a sort of odyssey into the unknown depths of grief. She holds nothing back, leaning into the absurdity of coughing up hairballs and slurping gelatinous goo off of cat food cans. The delightfully dark humor is never too on the nose—and while some of the success is owed to the script, the credit truly belongs to Glowicki for making it work. The transformation in her physicality as the film progresses is very fascinating to watch.
